Jamie Goode | This is generous and ripe, with sleek, rich blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, but there’s also some freshness. It has developed very nicely, with a wall of sleek ripe fruit hitting the palate. I’m not sure how much longer it will age for, but it’s delicious now in this bold, ripe, harmonious style. | 93

Peter Richards | Smoky, dried fruit aromas. Slight resinous notes. It has presence but largely in its syrupy fruit and spicy alcohol. Tannin provides little sustenance, nor does acidity—as a result, it is a slight morass, as this style tends to be when it ages. A wine for drinking young, if you like the style. | 87

David Williams | Monolithic, salty, fiery, and intensely chewy and dry; there’s little pleasure here now, as it’s rather unforgiving. | 83
