95 points - Medium deep salmon/strawberry pink. Nutty aromas, hint of reduction, straw and savoury notes. Lovely drive and flavour on the palate. Dry yet with richness and fullness of fruit. Aged characters showing through so drink up. Caramel like tones have become more prominent. A lovely, rich style of rosé.

92 points - Developed deep salmon pink. Phenolic nose. Mainly savoury at this stage. Palate shows hints of strawberry with a strong salty phenolic flavour. Fully developed. Fruit receding. Drink up. Confirms rosé should be drunk within a couple of years of vintage. Still a great wine.

95 points - Pale red with an orange tinge. Strawberry. Vibrant acid. Better fruit expression than the French Bandols and the Provence. Fresher acidity too: the acidity needs something to cut into. Probably best with food, whereas the Bandol works well on its own.

95 points - Medium pink. Intense and rich, built with some lees and oak hints. Drying and powerful in style. Quite different from the French styles, certainly more powerful.

95 points - Fantastic colour, so inviting: orange red - ‘amber salmon’. Savoury style, perfect sunset wine. Nothing to add to my previous tasting note.

95 points - Medium peach colour. Restrained aromas, lees contact. Rich and full flavoured on the palate, lees, creamy textured, complex and interesting. Acidity dances. Touches of stone fruit. Lovely.

96 points - Beautiful copper salmon colour. Excellent intensity on the nose, musk and lightly toasted nuts. Rich, full flavoured on the palate, excellent peach and hazelnutty character, very intensity and powerful yet finely boned. Long and moreish and delicious.

87 points - Medium strawberry red. Supple on entry but then falls away and apart fairly quickly. Ends up a little too grapey and a little too Ribena like. Bit hollow at the end. Pleasant enough with food.
