Andrew Jefford | Deep blood red, bright and well colored, but carrying the years in its hues. Is this going to be very ripe? It’s a touch jammy, even figgy on the nose. Not unenticing, though, and with a real architecture of scent to it. It is ripe and has retained that slightly jammy character on the palate, though it is clean and well made. I enjoy the ripeness of fruit though I can’t say that it qualifies as a classical Pinot. | 82

Anne Krebiechl | The nose has the ripeness of berry compote and very ripe, black cherry. The palate has some of the same plump juiciness but counters it with ample freshness. This is pliable and aromatic, majoring on that black-cherry ripeness. The structure is firm and crunchy. | 92

Jancis Robinson | Shaded mid-garnet. Lots of evolution in the herbal/minty spectrum. Appetizing and fully evolved. Not too sweet and just the job now. Some subtlety and great build. Light tannins but the fruit overwhelms them. Good balance and presence. Medium length. 2016–23. | 90
