96 points Stephen Wong MW for the Real Review: "Restrained though intriguing nose with lurking layers of blackberry, dark cherry, flint and woodsmoke. The palate has outstanding concentration while retaining a supremely elegant poise and grace. Not a hair out of place; the ultra-fine tannins, long, measured acidity and silky texture are so perfectly balanced that all attention can be focused on the kaleidoscope of subtle, evolving flavour which pans across the palate. Hard to resist already, yet there is no doubt that this beautifully elegant pinot noir will go the distance if cellared."
