AJ | Dark black-red. Super Pinot classicism here: the perfect wine for any blind-tasting exam. Locked on to that raspberry-with-beetroot undertow like a limpet. And sweet and charming withal: super aromatics. This is exactly what you get on the palate: a great bowling hoop of pure, purissimo Pinot fruit, wheeling it over your tongue. Little to detain; little not to delight. This Is Pinot.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2028. 90
AR | Medium ruby in colour, this is showing some somewhat premature gamey notes in the aroma, while tasting the wine brings an immediate sweetness of cherry fruit with oak in the background playing no obvious part, while the tannins in rather sooner than you might have liked, rendering the enterprise quite savoury and dry overall and just a tad underpowered on the fruit side.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2026. 88
DW | A slick pool of macerated cherry, bergamot, sage and thyme; plump, mouthwateringly succulent, but fleet-footed and refreshingly bitter-tangy; long fruit-filled finish with snap and savour; a really complete, immediately appealing but ageworthy Pinot Noir full of character.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 93
