Reviews
James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 95/100. Aromas of violets, red cherries and baked strawberries. Some hibiscus. Medium-bodied with silky and supple texture. Finely knit tannins are soaked in fresh red berries with some herbal complexity. Tea leaves and rosemary stems, as well. Lovely tension here. Drink or hold.
Cameron Douglas MS: 95/100. Complex, layered, varietal, fruity, floral and very enticing bouquet. … Complex and youthful. Flavours transition through the palate and reflect the bouquet - youthful, ripe and varietal. Oak provides the foundation delivering some spice and mild toasty complexities, tannins and acidity layer in a tautness and distinctive mouthfeel. New, fresh, and complex with best drinking from mid to late 2023 through 2033+. Great potential, please just give this wine time.
Bob Campbell, MW (The Real Review): 95/100. Intense pinot noir with a mix of fruit and savoury characters including raspberry, dark cherry, dried herb, grape stem, hedgerow and nutty oak flavours. Accessible now but with potential to gain even more complexity with bottle age.
Tasting note:
Classically rich with cherry, black currant, violets, dark chocolate notes, layered with coffee, cigar smoke and soft, old leather. But there is an elegance here that is truly graceful, a balance of dark fruit, fine tannin and subtle oak.
