Jamie Goode | Focused, bright blackberry and blackcurrant fruit on both the nose and the palate, with some grippy, crunchy tannins and acidity that sticks out a little. It’s ripe and sweet, and currently a bit unresolved. Some cocoa and spice on the finish. | 89

Peter Richards | Pretty youthful in both hue and aromas. Engaging plummy, damson notes, with a hint of lively pepper and violets. The tannins are fine, firm, and tense. Classy and focused in feel. Complex and layered, though relatively reticent in its youth and it lacks the extra dimension on the finish to be top drawer. It's still impressive, though. | 92

David Williams | Attractively deep but aromatically pretty nose, with alluring dark fruit. This is intense on the palate but silkily structured and succulent, with oak in balance and fruit to the fore, and good, dark-cherry-filled length. Very polished, fine tannins, balancing acidity. | 92
