"With an average vine age fast approaching 40 years the concentration and purity of fruit are unmistakable. Aromas and flavours are classic with a ripe red fruits core suurounded by a touch of mystery with truffle and mushroom then a stony clay quality. Personality and pinosity are the key attributes of this wine enhanced by a taut youthful mouthfeel, fine tannins and some barrel flavours with wood spice highlights. Well made with a lengthy persistnet finish. Solid. Best drinking from 2023 through 2033+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2022

"Splendidly composed and elegantly expressed, the wine shows spiced cherry, clove, floral and toasted almond characters with a hint of warm mushroom complexity. It's juicy and delightfully fleshy on the palate delivering silky flow backed by fine polished tannins. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2022

"Deep, ruby-red with a purple hue, lighter on the rim. This has a soft nose, sweet aromas of black cherries and plums interweave sweet spices of vanilla and cinnamon, pure in expression. Medium-bodied, nuances of cherries, plums underlying strawberries, dark herbs enriched by vanilla, cinnamon and clove. Fine-grained, supple tannin revealed in a velvety mouthfeel and baking spice. A hint of herbaceous nuance added interest. This is an alluring Pinot Noir with dark-toned aromatics and weight and an extended rich finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, May 2022
