From Sue Trott’s acclaimed Blewitt Springs vineyard, a Vale Cru, perhaps, alongside the Smart vineyard. Bush vines, planted in '52 to Maslin Sands over clay and ironstone; about 10% whole bunch; 11 days on skins, élevage in tank (85%) and an older puncheon. The Trott vineyard can often look a little darker in fruit profile, here more into deeper red fruits like blood-red cherries and ripe raspberries. It’s completely refined and transparent with it though, with dark red rose notes, pomegranate, barberry, tamarind, North African spices and musk layering in considerable complexity. This is the most textural and supple of the trio of single-site offerings, but it also has the architecture to age. Just wonderful and, for the quality, obscenely good value. (97) MARCUS ELLIS
