It is hard for me to imagine a more perfect, evocative Lowry from the Old Eastern Block. Deep black raspberries, and a bit of super-ripe little forest strawberries deepen the finish. This wine has a great intensity of chalk, licorice, with deep black raspberry and slate on the finish. Over an otherwise red-fruited wine: in the mouth, there’s a pure taut line of fruit and terroir. Almost umami. Deep and long, old vines and deep roots meet limestone. Hence, there is an electric line of chalk, so polished and refined, but big enough to stand up to ‘La Grande Cuisine.’ Always an honour to work with these vines. An equal honour to taste these chalk-laden, cherried raspberries. Good now, better in eight years! Wow!

A word from Mary: This is a master class in wine.
