Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear, and clean black-red. Sweetly and freshly oaky on the nose initially. After a while, it acquires some sappy depths and grows more subtle and classically enticing. Juicy, fresh, mercurial fruit on the palate (redcurrant and red cherry), but backed by depth and substance with some shy tannins, and lots of ripely sappy acidity, so overall the effect carries; this would be an effective Spätburgunder for the table. A well-preserved and carefully crafted wine that summarizes the sour-sharp appeal of the category in balanced and refined style. | 91

Anne Krebiechl | An aromatic touch of moss and conifer adds immediate allure to red-cherry fruit on the nose. The fruit walks an exciting tightrope between tartness and ripeness which adds both drama and tension. This is aromatic and alluring, poised and juicy, and has barely started on its journey. Aromatic depth of berry anchors this but the top notes soar. Simply lovely and very convincing wine. | 95

Jancis Robinson | Deep crimson. Something rather sweaty on the nose of this. Sweet start and some density. Quite a solid wine without the ethereal quality of a fine Pinot but the balance is fair and it could be a good accompaniment to food. A little drying on the end. Some beetroot notes. Pretty firm! 2018–23. | 88
