Andrew Jefford | Clear and light-hued, with some bricking. Toffeed, oxidized, and tired on the aromas, alas (both bottles). Deep, ripe, with some structure, but lacking fruit and rather lifeless as a consequence. Wouldn’t want to drink this. | 74

Anne Krebiechl | A meaty heft clings to nose of forest floor. The palate still revels in freshness and has a concentration of redcurrant and tart strawberry. This is resonant and fresh, vivid and alive— invigorating, even. Long, savory finish. | 94

Jancis Robinson | Subtle shade ruby and glowing. First bottle oxidized. Second bottle on the way to oxidation. The fruit has disappeared, alas. 2007–12. | 85
