2020 Crabitey

The 2020 Crabitey is loaded with dark, brambly fruit, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and chocolate. This bombastic, hearty Graves packs quite the punch. Burly tannins are a bit overpowering, and that is a shame, as this could be a materially better wine.

Zesty nose with fennel seed, chamomile and ripe nectarine. Medium bodied with real freshness and zing. Attractive stone fruit and a moderate finish. This will drink well young, very tasty indeed in a simple style. (AC)

The 2020 Crabitey is a powerful, hearty Graves packed with dark fruit and a whole range of savory/earthy flavors. Chunky tannins add to the wine's burly feel. Even so, there is a good deal of character. I would not age the 2020 for too long, but it will do just fine over the next few years.
