Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red in color. Sweet scents; ample ripe fruit in slightly hot, burned style. Lots of blackberry richness. Intense but rather dry and sinewy flavors, with almost searing acidity and prolific tannin, but a lack of mid-palate fruit to hold it all together. “Impressive” but daunting, unlovely flavors, and a lemon-juice finish. 2018–22. | 83

Michael Schuster | Ripe red fruit to smell; gently juicy medium weight within a fairly firm tannin frame; ripe red fruit in flavor, modest in scope, and with only medium length; a touch of overall severity, but pleasing enough, to drink fairly young. 2020–28+. | 87
