BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Fresh, focused and quite elegant with lovely blackcurrant and cherry fruit, with a bit of raspberry freshness. Nicely focused fruit here. Linear and not overripe, with good potential for development. | 93

Peter Richards | Creamy oak is prominent in the aromatics. Backed up, it has to be said, with cassis and herbs. The tannin is present but somewhat disparate and this, the creamy oak, and ripe fruit give a slightly disturbing aerial quality to the wine. Needs more grounding and focus. Finish lacks fresh fruit so is chewy. Some good elements but lacks overall cohesion. | 88

David Williams | A deliciously exotic swirl of black fruit and subtle medicinal notes on the nose. The palate is luxurious but also very nicely balanced, with plentiful but beautifully polished tannins and just a snap of curranty freshness. Very long and fine. | 94
