Tim Atkin | Youthful, plummy color. Assertive, aromatic oak on the nose. Modern style. Vibrant, juicy, and red-fruited, with refreshing acidity, chalky tannins, and medium length. Needs time. Promising. | 91

Simon Field | Deep ruby, a soft watery rim; pleasant, plush nose of black cherry, plum, and damson, a soft spice and gentle creamy backdrop. The palate is youthful, forward, petits fruits rouges in the ascendant; gentle tannic clasp at the end. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Deep, translucent black-red. Fresh, brisk, blossom-sweet fruits; delicate but inviting. The wood, though, is a little raw and varnishy. Curranty and brisk on the palate, again with some youthful rawness. | 84
