Simon Field | Elegant ruby color; spicy, red fruits and a hint of pepper; attractive mouthfeel; resinous and pleasingly aromatic. Charming and fluent at the back, and nicely integrated fruit. Impressive length; discreetly impressive! | 90

Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear black-red. Warm, rich, and harmonious: an excellent aromatic profile in which burnished fruit meets a very gentle, clean, whispering meatiness. Inviting. Vigorous, firm, deep, with ample cleanly defined primary plum and bramble fruits. Modest tannins and fresh acidity bring balance. | 88

David Williams | A compote of red cherry and berry with a glossy feel that is perhaps slightly lacking in soul. There is not much beyond that initial hit of sweet fruit. | 87
