Andrew Jefford | Very light-hued. Bright raspberry scents, with a big puff of sweet oak stiffening. More redcurrant than raspberry on the palate: straightforward, bright, and light, with the oak in fact not obtruding too much. Lean, acidic finish that nonetheless retains its fruit print. | 88

Anne Krebiechl | Rather smoky nose, heady but pleasant. Underneath that sits very full fruit that is still tightly closed. The ripeness of the year is evident in the juicy, ripe red-cherry notions. Fresh acidity makes for a lovely backbone and there is crunch and tender grip in the fine tannins. Here as well slight heat is evident. But fruit and balance are undoubted. This has great potential in its almost sumptuous way. | 93

Jancis Robinson | Light ruby that’s already browning with a pale rim. I’m torn between taking this distinctive nose for the forest-floor aromas that can sometimes be associated with Pinot Noir and less than pristine wood. I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt because there is very fresh, attractive fruit on the palate. This is an extremely hedonistic wine that’s already delivering pleasure. A hint of mushrooms and nice balance. Refreshing as well as fruity, with a little fine tannin on the end. 2017–23. | 90
