In a lineup of nine wines, this 2010 John Riddoch absolutely, without reservation, stole the show. Apart from being in a sublime place right now (i.e., 2022), the 2010 emerged just as the year that birthed it: very measured and even. In the mouth, the tannins are very finely knit, woven together seamlessly. It has silken flow and texture; the fruit speaks of spiced raspberry, pomegranate, iodine and ferrous, a skein of red apple skins and pink peppercorn. This is utterly beautiful, verging on majestic. It is quite possibly the greatest John Riddoch ever made. In terms of a drinking window... nowhere near its peak. Decades to go.
