Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear black-red. Quite oaky, but successful, with the oak charged and filled with soft raspberry and cherry fruits. Warm, rounded, vivid, and poised, with impressive depth of fruit here. The oak is melting into the wine, and while there are almost no palpable tannins, it’s retained a sense of structure and finishing wealth. An excellent mouthful of lively yet rewarding Pinot. A great driving palate, which I love, though its lack of aromatic subtlety sees me reining the score back a little. | 91
Anne Krebiechl | Lovely, heady notes of iron-oxide and redcurrant fill the nose. The palate is dense and tart, but the freshness illuminates redcurrant, tart, aromatic cherry and tart mulberry so they show in all their glorious purity. This hits you right in the heart with its vivid, fresh-faced, and deeply alluring sense of fruit. The structure is firm and mouthwatering, shimmering with aromatic fruit from start to finish. Lovely now but this seems certain to evolve. | 95
Jancis Robinson | Mid-crimson. First bottle TCA. Second one smells of rubber and gym shoes! Then it calms down somewhat to fruit, even dried fruit. Some grip and lots of acidity. Certainly fresh and with vitality. 2018–25. | 89
