Jamie Goode | Ripe, sweet, blackcurrant and raspberry fruit, with a slight pastille-like character. Savory, spicy undercurrents and some warm cedary notes in the background. Lush and mellow. A ripe, generous style. | 89

Peter Richards | Intense cassis aromas. Pretty pure in style. Tons of juicy dark fruit on the palate, looks good until the finish, which is dominated by raw, prickly alcohol. Shame! Some lovely elements here otherwise, and in the fruit and acidity you could see it evolving well... but the alcohol will remain invasive. | 88

David Williams | Intense and very ripe in a rather monolithic way; a forceful mass of sweet fruit and oak and tannin, it lacks detail and tension. | 85
