We use these when a producer may wish to clear excess stock or end of vintage lines, but they don't want to compromise the brand integrity, especially on-line where names and prices are visible to all. We can’t tell you the producer or normal RRP here – you’ll find this out when you open the box or come into store.
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Sumptuous yet gracious, the wine shows dark berry, roasted nut, porcini, tapenade and potpourri aromas on the nose, followed by a superbly concentrated palate offering plush mouthfeel and beautifully melded tannins. Multi-layered with symphonic complexity, making it immensely seductive and captivating. At its best: now to 2040."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A delicious wine with a hallmark of purity and pinosity, reflections of site and attention to detail in winemaking. Aromas and flavours of soils and fruits , use of wood and spice layers – all vying for attention yet harmonizing as they naturally do, A youthful wine still with a core of texture then fruit, an abundance of chalky textured tannins resting alongside red berry fruit flavours and barrel spices. A lengthy finish, individual and with personality. Best drinking from 2027 through 2035+."
95/100 Dave Brookes, James Halliday's Wine Companion, September 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Gentle, gamey-edged aromas of dark plum, cherry and wild strawberry fruits. Hints of thyme, spice, wildflowers, mocha, crushed stone, amaro herbs and dried citrus rind. There's a distinct sense of stony composure on the palate, travelling savoury, sleek and true with fine-grained tannin and some lovely sapid acid drive. Finishes spicy, plummy and chalky."
94/100 JamesSuckling.com, November 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Perfumed and floral with aromas of dark cherries, cloves, wet bark and wild strawberries. The medium-bodied palate has fine tannins and precise acidity, giving notes of blackberries, sweet spices, chalk, citrus and dried herbs. Poised and polished. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
94/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, December 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with salted heirloom tomato (sweet, summer feeling here), cranberry and pomegranate pearls, softly integrated tannic structure and a flowing, supple sort of feeling in the mouth. This is a quietly spoken, unfurling wine that opens like a flower over the course of the morning. It is pretty, with a mineral and freshness that lingers like wisps of smoke from an extinguished candle."
93/100 Emma Jenkins MW, Decanter, October 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"An inviting nose of rich cherry, wild raspberry and thyme, and sweet baking spices. The palate is balanced between a sweet core of fruit and slightly sappy tannins with some savoury dried herbs to keep the sweet fruit in check on the finish. A pretty, textbook style."
