Cameron Douglas MS
Fragrant, lifted, complex, varietal and enticing bouquet. Flavours showcase dark plum and black cherry, some raspberry and ripe cranberry qualities then layers of spice from wood. A stony mineral quality adds complexity enhanced by fruit and course-silk textured tannins and a backbone of acidity. Quite delicious with a fresh appeal and youthful taut mouthfeel. Best drinking from 2025 through 2034. Points: 93/100

Bob Campbell MW
Intense and slightly edgy pinot noir with raspberry, dark cherry, black-fleshed plum, mixed spice and fresh herb flavours supported by bright acidity and fine, peppery tannins. Should become mellower with a little bottle age. Points: 93/100

Cameron Douglas MS
A youthful, distinctive and complex bouquet with aromas of spiced dark cherries and black currant with some plum, there's a savoury mineral quality and crushed red flowers scent. A lovely wine on the palate with a satin texture, contrasting acid line and an abundance of fine tannins adding a chalky fine sand texture. Salivating, textured, fruits reflect the bouquet with a textured mouthfeel and varietal finish. Well made, quite young still with best drinking from late 2023 through 2029+. Points: 93/100
