97 / 100"Intense and powerful Pinot Noir with ripe cherry, plum, floral and spice flavours. A taut and complex wine that promises to age extremely well. Very pure and very varietal. This is a seriously good Pinot Noir that needs time to demonstrate its true potential. Tasted 20 JAN 2013"

"Tasted quickly at Pinot Noir 2017. Savoury, spicy, redcurrant, rosy. Lighter and pretty style, lot of energy and sap, beautiful tannin profile – a fine dusting plays through like a warm breeze – and a good long finish. Great style."
- Gary Walsh
