Stephen Brook | Spry cherry and raspberry nose, discreet but zesty, with a light toastiness. Medium-bodied and limpid, but it lacks some concentration and weight. Ripe but simple, with a slightly green character on the mid-palate. The finish is pinched, and this lacks flesh and persistence. | 83

Alex Hunt | This wine has a very luxurious, Napa Cab sort of nose, with creamy-vanilla oak and slick black-fruit aromas. The palate then shows more definition and a lighter touch than expected. It’s all very neat, and a good drink, without the complexity or flair of the best in this tasting. Well within its comfort zone. | 86

Andrew Jefford | Translucent red-black, but still fresh-looking, with lots of glad-eyed anthocyanins. Lively and fresh in scent, too, with some floral notes among the mulberries and the blackberries. Juicy, lively, and fresh on the palate, though very simple in both conception and execution, which is perhaps a failing when set against the “fine-wine” scale. But an enjoyable drink. | 83
