- Andrew Caillard MW Gimblett Gravels 2019 Annual Selection (2019 Vintage)
- 96/100 Andrew Caillard MW:
"Medium deep crimson. Fragrant redcurrant, cranberry, pepper, sage, dried herb aromas with underlying mocha notes. Supple sweet cranberry, currant, raspberry fruits with some blackberry, brambly notes, peppery nuances, plentiful fine sinewy long and refined tannins, some savoury roasted walnut, light marzipan notes. A fresh chalky finish with persistent juicy fruits. The barrel maturation characters and mid-palate viscosity really distinguish this wine." (2019 Vintage)
- 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS:
"Exuberant, youthful, varietal and floral bouquet. Aromas of boysenberry and black currant, dark raspberry and sweet spicy scents of oak. There’s some peppery moments though the dry spice and earthy qualities melt all together in complexity. Firm and dry on the palate with a core of dark berry flavours that reflect the bouquet, a firm youthful structure from wood and toasty spices and a backbone of acidity - both highlighting some varietal peppercorn notes. Delicious, fresh, youthful, complex and well made. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2030+." (2019 Vintage)
