Bruno Besa | Garnet to orange. Open plum and prunes nose, with cedar wood and hints of rose water and petrol. Medium body, fine tannins, and balanced fruit. Not a monster of length, but a well-made, inviting Nebbiolo. | 89

Stephen Brook | Shy raspberry nose. Medium-bodied, rather slack and soupy; this lacks drive and precision, and the tannins are drying. Fruity but a bit drab. | 84

Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear red. Sweet, warm, burnished fruits of great charm. Soft, graceful, and mouth-filling: the perfect cusp, just now, between the brisk tannic firmness of youth and the softer and more resonant charms of age. Aromatically, too, the palate is as complex and refined as the nose. Magnificent teased ripeness here; wonderful planty-sappy depth and texture. An outstanding, nuanced wine one would love to sit down and devote an hour or two to. | 92
