Nicolas Belfrage: Medium depth with hint of turn. Loganberry and cranberry on nose, firm structure and clearly stated fruit in mouth. Needs a bit more stuffing. Not ready now, leaves mouth dry, needs three to five years but will last 10-15. 16

Roy Richards Delicate, fruit-driven wine. Attractive. 14

Franco Ziliani: Ruby-colored. Nose very fleshy, round elegant, with cherry and plum notes, licorice, a hint of leather, mint, black pepper and a mineral accent. Round, solid, well-balanced, rich, complex, with a good tannic structure, a good persistence, and a long very savory finish.
