Bruno Besa | Light garnet to tawny. Delicate, classic Nebbiolo nose with rosewater, petrol, small red fruits, and hints of crushed stones. Medium body, balanced palate, with good tannic grip and a long, plum-and-prunes finish. | 90

Stephen Brook | Light, brisk, raspberry and redcurrant nose. Medium-bodied, rather slight and simple, has freshness but not much weight of fruit, and the tannins, while present, seem pinched. There’s little vigor and structure, and little drive on the finish. A modest wine. | 84

Andrew Jefford | Clear-hued, limpid red. Juicy, ripe, exuberant, and enticing: much warmer red fruits here than many of its peers. Some planty undergrowth notes, too. Deep, vivid, well rounded, satisfying, and classical, with more intrinsic ripeness to it than many of its peers. A highly drinkable 2012, if not quite the most nuanced wine on the table. | 91
