Press Comments

Jancisrobinson.com, 16.5 points, 2025: "Pale ruby. Warm mint-and-raspberry nose and then really rather deep-red, sweet fruit: pomegranate, cooked cherry. Something that tastes, for a moment, like milk chocolate, and then tastes like crème de marrons with a hint of praline. Long ribbons of silky tannins. A ripe Pinot with graceful ease."
