Jamie Goode | Dense and structured, with a salty edge to the sweet blackcurrant and blackberry fruit. Slightly stewed, with a very sweet finish. Nice intensity and freshness, though. The cedary oak integrates well. | 88

Peter Richards | Classic stewed damson and black-pepper aromas. Young and tense in feel. Tannin is edgy, acidity relatively marked. Lacks the real persistence and complexity to veer into top territory. But it’s elegantly refreshing. | 89

David Williams | Beautifully composed and harmonious, with real finesse and lightness of touch, red- and black-currant fruits and floral notes and a keenness of acidity; fine tannins and a long, haunting, perfumed finish. Graceful and stylish. | 94
