Andrew Jefford | Light and translucent; deep rose-red. Redcurrants and snipped privet on the nose. Despite the greenness, there is a stylish warmth of scent, too, so you can’t really say that it’s underripe. That’s very much the palate appeal, too: It seems to be a full-season, cool-place Pinot that offers phenolic maturity with flavors of redcurrant, grapefruit, and trimmed grass and leaves. Not really my thing, but I feel it is an honest and well-made wine. | 83
Anne Krebiechl | A very smoky nose hinting at toasty oak. The palate underneath is fresh and full of lively, fresh and pure morello cherry alongside tart notes of red cherry. The smoke plays alongside, brightened by the wine’s lively acidity. This is tangy and tart, moreish and light, but not without depth or echo. Rather intriguing, with a lovely redcurrant finish. | 93
Jancis Robinson | Mid-garnet. Pale rim. Round and low in tannin. Easy, mushroomy, and with quite marked acidity. Fairly lightweight and grassy. Pure aromas but a bit tart. Could be riper... 2019–23. | 88
