Jancis Robinson 17.5 Points
Such limpid, ripe, rose-petal-velvet raspberry fruit! Like sunrise shafting through a ruby stained-glass window, spilling across a dusty flagstone floor; spilling blood red and gemstone-lucid liquid light; spilling dust motes and cinnamon and dried cranberries and crimson; spilling out the glass and lazily, quietly, softly sifting back to earth and settling into a forest floor of autumn leaves and tannins savoury, softly gritty, gilled and silky wet as underwood mushrooms. 17.5 Points, TC, August 2022.
