The 2025 vintage is showing some deeper and darker blackberried fruit, Acai, plum and Bing cherries. There is a cool lavender leaf, high tone that beckons you in some nettle and sweet basil herb. A chew to the grainy tannins and once again sky riding acidity, providing a moreish lip smacking finish. A memorable vintage of the Ashton, but then again I can say that each year. The potency of this wine is clear and present with 5-6 years of life ahead. For now it calls for duck liver pate and blackcurrant compote on toast.
