AJ | Dark, clear black-red. Fresh, lively, lifted and engaging: sweet cherry with some tarry warmth. Dry straw behind. Energetic and sappy Pinot, with lots of freshness and pungency glowing in its rosy cheeks. Pure-fruited, without a lot of structuring tannin but the fruit quality is outstanding, uncloying, pure, true and long, marbled with lively acidity. Excellent Pinot. Check out your afterbreath, once you've swallowed: you'll find it fine, pure, pristine. Another testament of quality.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2031. 93
AR | Youthfully vivid in colour, this is fresh and distinctively pinot noir in its perfumed fruit character if still a tad on the shy side; the fruit is dark cherry and loganberry like, showing a marked ripe sweetness and good full flavour undercut by an almost crisp fresh acidity that adds a nice dimension to the character of the wine, a kind of savory mouthwatering element that says bring me to the menu; it's an understated, elegant style, seamlessly put together, a wine a pinot lover would be happy to have in their cellar (i.e. me).Drink Dates: 2024 - 2034. 92
DW | An unforced and frictionless flow of enchantingly ripe cherry-blackberry fruit sashays across the palate in this immensely and immediately attractive wine; very harmonious with a burgeoning forest-floor character and seamless tannins; glossily appealing and gulpable wine with just enough earthy-rooty-bitterness to keep it from facile fruitiness.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2032. 93
