Jamie Goode | This is a ripe, seductive wine, with fleshy, licorice-tinged black-cherry fruit and a hint of pepper. The focus here is on sweet, luscious, smooth fruit; it’s a real crowd-pleaser, with great purity and some good definition. It’s all about pleasure and ease, and while this isn’t a serious wine that engages the mind, it’s very well made.| 90

Andrew Jefford | Saturated, deep, dense, opaque black-red. Rather reductive aromas; let’s look again in a wee while. Much the same five minutes later. On the palate, this is quite soft, smooth, well-rounded, and balanced, with muted and harmonious acidity and attractive blackcurrant and mulberry fruits. Without the slightly stinky nose, this would win a high score. | 90

David Williams | A big slick of sweet brambly fruit: vivid, finger-staining, and dark. No subtlety here, but there’s enough energy and balancing acidity to keep it interesting and drinkable. | 88
