Stephen Brook | Lush, plummy nose, with impressive depth of fruit. The attack is fresh and lively, and this has admirable clarity of fruit and brightness. Very ripe without being jammy, this is zesty and moreish, with a sleek texture and a balanced, perky finish. Not a profound wine for long cellaring, but it brings immediate pleasure. | 90

Alex Hunt | Pale to middling red in color, and a very appealing, open nose of plum jam, with some alcoholic warmth and slight dried-fruit character contributing to the enveloping effect. The palate is tighter than expected, with quite firm, fine tannin lending a sort of mineral, stony quality to the texture. Elegant, a little earnest compared to the nose, and in need of a year or so to relax. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Clear red-purple in color. Sweet and warm, with just a touch of the forest to it (pine and resins); some vanillins, too. Gently attractive aromas while relatively soft-focus. Smooth, vivid fruits with a slightly brighter acid balance than I was expecting, as if there was just a dash of raspberry vinegar in here. No tannin at all and very little density; the palate rides on this fruit and the bright acidity. Pleasant enough but not an ambitious wine. | 82
