AJ | Dark black-red. Warm, plummy, rich; wonderfully enrobed. Seamless and almost hard to pick out the detail, but a beautifully complete aroma. Impeccable oak here, just filling without ever forcing. It is the bigger, more orchestral style of Pinot. And that will be very clear on the palate, too: lush, lavish, ample, but the quality of the fruit at the core of this wine is outstanding. Relatively discreet tannins, but the ripe acids hold the wine well on track. Bottled as semi-mature, so you don't need to wait long to explore everything on offer here.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2029. 91
AR | Mid-ruby, youthful hue, still elemental in aroma, smells like a dry red of indeterminate origin; the flavours are attractive however, lots of fresh, crunchy dark berries, nicely expressed with no over oak in the flavours while the texture is firm, vigorously youthful, albeit a tad tough, showing quite some extraction, but that in itself brings a certain energy; needs patience for the dark arts of this pinot noir to shine through.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 90
DW | Wonderfully refined and detailed nose with vivid berry fruits – so fresh and inviting; the palate courses and surges with that finely glimmering red and black fruit, there's sappiness and fine mineral acidity – a wine of immediate charm and verve but one with enough to intrigue over time, too.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2032. 95
