Score 16/20 · Drink 2021-2024, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2020

They don’t put Oak Knoll on the label. Made from their vines closest to the hedgerow of which the Matthiassons are so proud. Pale ruby. A bit jammy on the nose. Not as aromatically pure as I would have expected from this producer. Dry, pretty tannic finish. Dusty. Perhaps it will transform like the 2008 did. (JR)
