Stephen Brook | Relatively light in color as well as aroma, which is red-fruited but shy. Still fresh but rather light and simple. There are some tannins in the background but little depth of flavor or flesh. This seems to have lost energy, and I suspect it would have shown better a year ago. Moderate length and a pallid finish. | 85

Alex Hunt | Discreet, attractive nose showing a bit of undergrowthy evolution, as well as some juicy berry fruit. The palate is still quite brisk and structured, with fresh acidity and firm, fine tannin. All very neat and balanced, with decent length, but it feels contained, reserved; it’s not really singing today. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Light, translucent black-red. Earthy, complex, secondary, and aromatically multilayered, with notes of sweet cherry, cola, tobacco, hay, and silage; not quite sublime, but diverting. On the palate, all of the above—but also an incipient thinning and loss of flesh here, with a rising tide of acidity, which suggests to me that the wine is coming to the end of its span—or at least that it doesn’t have much in reserve. | 84
