Jamie Goode | Intense, with a lively, limey core and some rich pineapple notes. Intense, spicy, and vivid, with bracing acidity. This really needs some time to sort itself out; it’s all over the place at the moment—a wall of somewhat disjointed flavors. But it does have potential. | 87

Peter Richards | First bottle: restrained aromas, slightly dull, rooty, undergrowth. Seems as though it might be scalped. Second bottle: more nutty, appley brightness on the nose. Juicy, cogent palate, with spicy hints on the finish. Good grip and focus here. It’s not overdone, instead cleverly put together and hits the right notes in terms of freshness, savory complexity, and finish. Really impressive. | 92

David Williams | Immaculate fruit concentration beautifully in the service of drinkability; this is a wine with a real livewire energy, which works so well in tandem with the almost crunchy apple fruit and subtle honey-toastiness and long, long, pristine finish. | 92
