2018 base alongside '17 and '16. 40% oak, 40% steel, 20% concrete egg. Light pink hue, almost Provençal rose in colour! Brilliant vinous delivery with plenty of structure giving a real sense of place. Lovely mid palate weight and fruit. The finish is superb, both wonderful in texture, salinity and length.
