95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "'[13%] Not so long ago, the fruit for Follow The Line used to disappear into the Savage Red, but it's now established as a superb wine in its own right. Fermented with 50% whole bunches, it's an ethereal cuvée of Cinsault with 7% Syrah, with rose petal, pepper and Turkish Delight notes, strawberry and hibiscus flavours and sculpted tannins. 2023-2030. (2022)"

94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Follow The Line comes from 40-years-old Cinsault vines aged in three oak foudres. It has a quite an elegant, red berry fruit nose with touches of rooibos and bergamot, very well defined and focused. The palate has an understated intensity, fine acidity and is nicely structured with gentle grip, sappy with allspice and sage towards the persistent finish. This will be difficult to resist in its youth. Wonderful. Drink 2024-2037. (08/22)."
