Alex Hunt: Gently milky/chocolaty nose on first sniff, but some more vigorous brambly notes beneath. And happily it’s the brambles that define the palate! This is sleek, approachable Syrah that still has definition, poise, and a certain sternness on the palate. Refreshing and promising. 91

Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. Sweet and warm, with some coffee notes but also some rawness and a touch of rubber. Pungent and lively, but those coffeerubber notes remind me a little of some South African Syrah wines. It’s satisfying, sweet, and long on the palate, but better aromatic finesse is a desideratum for future vintages. 84

Peter Liem: This is dark and juicy, though it feels slightly one-dimensional on the palate. 88
