Andrew Jefford | Clear red and relatively deep-hued for a 2011. Sweet cherry scents; still primary, to my surprise. On the palate (perhaps I should have seen this coming), that primary fruit has a rather fixed and drawn expression; intense, but lacking warmth and resonance. But to look on the bright side, this is a vibrant and faithful Pinot with classic fruit, some length and a tangy finish that needs finishing soon. | 84

Anne Krebiechl | Lovely notes of heady black cherry play vividly on the nose. The palate is firm but tart and has only just started opening up. There is vivid purity of ripe red cherry and a lovely, unforced expression of freshness and gauze-like tannin. This is slender but vivid, taut but full of allure. The morello freshness on the finish is haunting and so moreish. | 94

Jancis Robinson | Crimson-ruby. Sweet and very slightly jammy. A bit simple. 2016–21. | 88
