Jamie Goode | There’s a lovely succulence to this wine. On the nose, hints of pepper, cinnamon, and red berries lead the way. The palate expands, adding notes of fine herbs, stones, and some thyme and tarragon to the cherry and plum fruit. Ripe, expressive, and detailed. Finishes long and warm.| 94

Andrew Jefford | Dark, vibrant, deep black-red, though translucent, not opaque. Some notes of grass and kerosene on the nose: herbaceous. Intense, drivingly acidic and deep, with that acidity conveying a sense of concentration. Despite the herbaceousness, it does not seem unripe or raw.| 85

David Williams | A very pure nose of blackberry-bramble fruit, withatouch of violet and some dark savory elements: very Syrah, basically. The palate is succulent and sinewy: nice energy and just enough tannic grip; good depth, but unforced; nice fresh, red-berry-sappy finish. | 92
