Nicolas Belfrage: med deep color but with some turn on rim. Morello cherry on nose, however, and firm-correct fruit acid character on mid-palate and finish, quite tannic but needs time, good concentration. Drink 2012 to 2020. 16

Roy Richards Not sure, definite taint here. Palate confirms this. Dry and horrid. Second bottle – has lovely fruit and elegance, confirming that first is corked. 16

Franco Ziliani: Very interesting color: brilliant ruby-violet. Some reduction on the nose, not totally clean, with a high alcoholic content and some herbal vegetal notes. The palate show some unripe, vegetal green tannins, with astringency, no balance, and a dull boring, bitter finish. 12
