Bruno Besa | Lively ruby to garnet. Clean, youthful red-fruit nose. A touch closed, with red cherries, minerals, and some aromatic herbs. Medium body, with slightly simple fruit and moderate length. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Dark, deep, though clear black-red. Rather simple, tarry red fruits, with a note of sodden ash, too. And crushed holly leaf. The palate shows the red fruits sketched out on the nose, acid-led, and they would provide some short-term pleasure, but this is not otherwise a memorable effort. | 84

Michael Palij | Appealing if measured nose, with a note of lees contact, rose hip, candied cherries, raspberry, and candy fl oss. The palate is rich and shows a mineral edge allied to ripe red fruit and a fine, supporting role for the oak, with no obvious exogenous tannins. This is long and refined. | 90
