JAMES SUCKLING: "Creamy and polished with pretty oak-spice and chocolate notes, layered with plums and blueberries. Light toffee, too. Medium body with velvety tannins. Fresh finish."

DECANTER: "Lovely perfume and aromatics on the nose. Juicy and softly lively on the palate, you feel like this wants to be more playful, but the creamy, chalky tannins just cover the fruit purity and brightness right now. It does have a good base of acidity, though, and I like the clear terroir markers of graphite, crushed stone and pencil lead with a cooling finish. I also like the texture - it's delicate and feels well worked and refined with good potential."
