Raymond Chan 18.5/20 points!"The bouquet is elegant with ethereal aromas of dark red berry fruits and plums with integrated notes of savoury, earth and spices, along with red florals. The bouquet builds in depth and volume with aeration. Medium-full bodied, the flavours are restrained and stylishly expressed, with interwoven dark red fruits, dried herbs, earth, spices and florals. The fruit is carried by fine-grained, taut tannin structure and background acidity that enlivens the fruit sweetness. A deep, dense core is revealed, carrying the ethereal and complex, spicy flavours to a long, soft-textured finish. This is an elegantly flavoured and ethereally complex Pinot Noir with sweet spiciness and fine structure. "

Gary Walsh 94+ points!"Dark, bunchy, spicy and brooding with cinnamon studded dark cherry and a whiff of new leather. It's medium bodied, or just a little over, all earth and spice and polished boots, but bright and fresh too with cherry flavour and silky tannin " a wine of contrast and undeniable charisma. Long and spicy to close with a tweak of acidity on the finish. Wild good times."
