90 POINTS VINOUS “The 2022 Chocolate Block comprises Syrah (77%), Grenache (9%), Cinsault (8%), Cab Sauv (5%) and Viognier (1%), with around 70% of the production estate-grown. It is whole berry fermented, matured in 95% used French oak. It has an attractive, well-defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, mocha and crushed violet scents. The medium-bodied palate has powdery tannins, well-balanced & fresh, with a surprisingly tensile, engaging graphite-tinged finish. An exemplar of how to create a hugely popular brand whilst upholding quality.“
