James Suckling

Reviewed October 2025
Stupendous and complex aromas of dried strawberries, smoke, oyster shells and rust follow through to a medium body with dusty, velvety tannins that give length and lift. Spicy at the end, with cloves and gunpowder. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Review Date: 02/2024
Juicy cherry on the nose comes with an overtone of liquorice, wild rose, pepper and lichen. Red-fruited aromatics become ever more intense, heady with their purity. The palate is generous with fruit but svelte and shapely in form. The phenolics are fine, tight, tingling, mouth-watering, supported by beautifully taut acidity, bright, shining, exquisitely aromatic and so very pure with berry fruit. (AK)

Notes

97 points, The Real Review: "Reticent and broodingly closed, this only reluctantly unfolds with extended time in the glass despite its age. Distinctive, high-impact oak with roasted coffee and vanilla flavours meet a hint of flint ahead of the immensely concentrated, mouth-filling black cherry, violet and raspberry fruit. Ripe, submerged tannins and taut acidity battle with the intensity of flavour across the palate, creating tension and adding to the already impressive length. Just starting to reveal hints of roasted nut, earth and olive complexity on the finish, this massive and oaky yet energetic pinot is a decade away from maturity and will richly reward those with patience."
