94 pts James Suckling Nov 2024 A bright and fruity red with strawberries, flint and lead-pencil undertones. Medium-bodied with crunchy flavors and a savory finish. Well-crafted. Drink or hold.Cam Douglas – 93/100, Excellent Youthful, fruity, varietal and classic bouquet of dark berries and plum flesh, cherry and barrel spices, newish wood scents and a stony mineral core. Equally new and youthful on the palate with a vibrant perfume of wood and fruits, soil and baking spices. The lees and nut qualities from the oak layer in complexity and depth. Delicious, fresh, youthful and primed for ageing. There’s a drink-now quality too, best with food, but if ageing is desired then cellar till 2025 then drink through 2030 .Wine Orbit – 93/100, 5 Stars Sweetly ripe and beautifully perfumed, the enticing bouquet shows dark cherry, blueberry, violet, olive and a hint of dried herb nuances. The palate has refined mouthfeel and juicy fruit intensity, splendidly framed by fine polished tannins. Youthfully charming and poised with elegant complexity. At its best: now to 2028.
