A medium-bodied wine with plush lingering fine-grained tannins. Brambly, dark berries, sour cherry and plum. Nuances of savoury dried herbs. Complex, structured and an extended length, with patience, the 2022 is a great wine to cellar.

Crushed, macerated on skins in large format oak, 18 months' maturation in new and seasoned oak. Built for longevity, not speed, Block 02 is a viticulturist's dream come true, a block planted according to a firm clonal selection protocol. It's one serious sangiovese, still evolving, still very much a taut, precision-driven engine yet to reveal all. Looks to dark cherries, plum, fennel, earth, tobacco, thyme and cured meats framed in savoury tannins and wood-spiced oak. Leaves you wondering and wanting more."
- 96 points by Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion.

Floral and red-fruit focused, with aromas of cherries, mocha and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of red currants, tobacco leaves and wet stones. Very well balanced and focused, with an underlying tension. Drink or hold."
