Nose very young, closed and not expressive, palate quite firm, very fine grained young tannins, juicy fruit to acid balance, supple and quite charming although youthful and still finding harmony. Needs time.
Nose closed and tight, needs some air, cracked black pepper quite subtle, fig and prune aromas, quite shy wine, soft fruits on palate. Not a blockbuster, very Rhone like, lots of fruitcake, does lack some length.
Having worked with Ronan for over 10 years i have nothing but admiration for his drive and energy and the way he embraces new idea's to improve not only himself but the business' he works for. He is always entirely professional, generous with both his time and knowledge and a true showcase of leading by example. Ronan's knowledge of not only wine, but every aspect of the hospitality industry is impressive and he is always, it appears, a step ahead when embracing innovation to deliver a better result.
