Andrew Jefford | Deep black-red. A green, leafy scent of such cool freshness that it might beguile—though to my way of sniffing, it seems a little hedgy and unripe. Pristine nonetheless. Green all the way through the palate, and I wouldn’t really relish drinking it, yet it is once again pristine to the last and seems to have been made with great care and precision. If you have a taste for woodland Pinot, check it out. | 84
Anne Krebiechl | A wilderness touch of elderberry creeps into the nose of cherry fruit, alongside sun-dried conifer and slight smoke. That elderberry note stays bright and alert across the juicy, lively and fresh palate. There is real verve and energy here, lots of drive. Underneath, there is more serious intent: firmness, freshness, and depth. This has real allure without being overdone. | 94
Jancis Robinson | Deep garnet—one of the deepest-colored of these wines. Sweet beetroot on the nose. But on the palate, the acidity is a bit dominant, and there seems a lack of fruit to knit it all together. A bit raw overall. Not much persistence. 2019–23. | 87
