CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2015 Pinot Noir has an attractive bouquet with brambly red fruit and briar with a touch of mint, just occluded by some oak with aeration. The palate is balanced with simple raspberry fruit, though it feels just a little short and monotone on the finish. It has lasted the course and gains a bit of weight with time in the glass, prompting me to raise my score, though I have encountered better vintages. Tasted blind at the 10-Year-On horizontal in London.

The 2015 Pinot Noir offers attractive red cherry and bergamot tea-like scents on the well-defined bouquet, that "foxy" note on the 2014 fortunately not in evidence here. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, vivid red cherry and raspberry fruit, a fine silver bead of acidity, the 40% new oak neatly embroidered into the fabric of the wine. I like the symmetry here, the warmth of the growing season really benefiting the style of this Pinot Noir. Back on form after the 2014.

10 months' maturation in 42% new French oak (228-litre barrels). Natural cork. Tasted blind. Some evolution on the rim. Sweet red fruits on the nose. The acidity is becoming notable on the palate. I suspect this is on the way down. Definitely losing fruit on the palate. But it must have been quite a joy at one point. (JR)
