Description
"Basket-Case is a creative outlet, a chance to roll back my sleeves, get my hands dirty and connect with my wines on a much deeper level. By utilising tiny parcels of fruit and small scale ferments, I am afforded the freedom to experiment, to push the boundaries in an effort to tease out additional layers of subtlety and nuance - all in the hope of attaining the elusive notion of 'perfection'. The 2021 Basket Case is a Pandora’s Box of complex aromas – heady and perfumed with wild strawberry, potpourri, borage flower and musk. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg spiced blue berry fruits laced with garrigue and resinous lick of conifer sap. The palate is sleek, taut and sinewy, with powder fine tannins and a bright streak of acidity that will be just as well suited to a rich lamb dish now or a few years relaxing in the cellar before opening." - Winemaker Notes
"Ripe, vibrant red with black cherry/berry, plum, spice/anise, fresh herbs and hedgerow flavours. Vibrant, high energy wine that can be appreciated now but should develop well with bottle age.itional layers of subtlety and nuance - all in the hope of attaining the elusive notion of 'perfection'.." - 92 Points, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
