Simon Field | Forward and assertive, with savory aromatics that recall charcuterie and spice above and beyond the dense raspberry flavors. The palate rehearses tension, with racy acidity and pure red-fruit flavors framing the ensemble with alluring tenacity. | 90
Andrew Jefford | Deep black-red. Vivid, earthy; some reduction here, but some sweet raspberry fruit, too. Complex and attractive if you give it plenty of ventilation. Mouth-filling and lively on the palate, but relatively slender, too, and there is a grassy backdrop | 83
Charles Metcalfe | Pleasant balance of grassy freshness and earthy raspberry aromas. Sound, with good fruit, vigorous tannins and acidity, and balancing intensity of flavor. This is still young and could develop further. The finish is gentle and promises development to come. | 88
