Jamie Goode | Ripe, sweet, and generous, with a real sense of harmony to the lush blackberry fruit. This is a very ripe wine but it has kept its shape with age, displaying a mellow harmony and pure, sweet fruit. | 92

Peter Richards | Malty, smoky, dark dried cassis. Quite stolid in profile. The palate is the same. Doesn’t give much, slightly unyielding in its foursquare, chunky stance. Sturdy. Steely gaze. All present and correct but lacks joy and generosity. | 89

David Williams | Sumptuous fruit, very inviting in all its heady richness and the lingering power and viscosity. The tannins are pleasingly grippy without being overbearing. A little foursquare, and an unwelcome touch of alcoholic heat, but impressive nonetheless. | 90
