96 points The Real Review
The colour is quite light and evolved for its age, and the bouquet and flavour are mellow and forward developed, but undeniably complex. There are forest-floor, earthy, dried-herb, pomegranate and balsamic herb/Campari aromas galore, but it lacks primary fruit and freshness compared to prevailing styles of Australian/New Zealand pinot noir. Intensity of palate flavour is excellent as is the multi-faceted flavour profile and length of palate. An idiosyncratic and utterly delicious pinot noir. It’s probably drinking at its best right now

Fragrant, lifted aromas of cherry, sap, spice, bramble, cooked strawberry and sandalwood, really evocative and enticing. Delicately flavoured, supple and mouth-filling, full of dark cherry, blueberry, spice and a umami-ish soy character. Tannins are round and caressing and the acidity is taut and crunchy. Lovely length, texture and drinkability.
