Simon Field | A gentle evolution lends notes of garrigue and spice to a fundamentally generous sweet fruit core; primary ceding to secondary notes; freshness in no way compromised, however, and the beguiling sweet fruit core gravitating quite naturally to something a little more serious and gastronomically versatile. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Deep, dense clear black-red, but no signs of premature age as yet here. The scents are mature and well aged, harmonious and clean: settled red fruits, soft spice, earth and always that diagnostic freshness, too. A very attractive aromatic profile. Vivid, poised, lively, and fresh red wine; now mature, and with the harmony and complexity that you would expect with the passing of the years. Most enjoyable if not exactly a show- stopper. | 89

Charles Metcalfe | Savory, mature wine, with some meaty, oaky notes. The palate is smooth, with gentle, evolved tannins, and savory, meaty flavors. A balanced, savory red, with good intensity and decent length. Drink soon.| 88
