Jamie Goode | Sweetly fruited nose of blackcurrant, vanilla, and dried herbs is really inviting. The palate is fleshy, supple, and quite elegant. This is a very modern-styled wine, with ripe fruit and supporting oak, but there’s poise and finesse here. In its style, it’s beautifully made and quite more- ish, with subtle herbal complexity under the sleek, polished fruit. | 93

Andrew Jefford | Dark, dense red-black; opaque. Earthy, warm, close-grained, and rich aromas of plum and blackcurrant, damson and mulberry. Lots of fruited wealth here; lavish and enticing. Incense spice, too: an aromatic profile of unusual allure. Deep, vivid, and full, and packed with plum, sloe, and blackcurrant fruits in almost meaty style. Vivid, fresh, but not imbalanced or raw acids work with the soft supportive tannins to provide enough structure for the fruit without dominating it or rendering it too tough or confrontational. Excellent wine. Very impressive depth, concentration, poise, and aromatic finesse. | 93

David Williams | A heady swirl of dense black-cherry dark fruit, full-on and glossy and sweet with fruit, almost Port-like in its structure and power. Impressive in its way, but hard to drink more than a glass. | 87
