Bruno Besa | Garnet to light tawny. Refined, elegant, restrained, mineral nose with orange peel, cranberries, and wild strawberries, and hints of road tar and roses. Balanced, intense, mineral, layered red fruits palate with a long, clean, super-complex finish. | 96

Stephen Brook | Smoky red-fruited nose, already showing considerable charm. Medium-bodied and a touch slack, this has immediate appeal but doesn’t seem that structured. There are tannins, to be sure, and the fruit just bounces along them. There’s a lack of precision and clarity of fruit. But the finish is firm, dusty, and long. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Pure, light black-red. Sweet, warm, and pleasing, though without a lot of grain and finesse to it. Rather a simple aromatic profile. Soft, open, rather tinny fruit, salvaged by firm tannins. A nice glass of wine, but not a front-runner in our tasting for me. | 84
