Priya Sharma — Great dinner party wine

8/10

Served this with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder for a dinner party and got loads of compliments. It's got this confident, inviting smell when you pour it and the flavour builds really nicely. One of those wines that makes you look like you know what you're doing.

Henrik Larsen — Good not great

6/10

Got this as a Christmas present. It's perfectly fine — balanced, clean, pleasant enough to drink. But at nearly £45 a bottle I'd expect something that really blows me away and this didn't quite get there. I'd rather spend that on a decent Côtes du Rhône personally.

Erik Strom — Really impressed with this

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and it went down an absolute treat. The fruit is really expressive without being jammy, and it just kept getting better as the bottle opened up. At £45 it's not an everyday wine but for a special occasion it's spot on.
