2022 L’il Kirby Bachelder

Profound colour, lip-smacking, umami-driven crunchy red and blue berries with a certain not-unwelcome rusticity over an undertone of anise-like deep-toned tawny concentration. It has a completely seductive, salty-savoury, deeply-fruited gaminess with so much more to give over the coming years of cellaring as the softish, gritty tannins mellow out.
