Nicolas Belfrage: Medium deep with hint of turn. Raspberry strawberry nose, a bit jammy. Fruit of charm but not one to last long. drink 2010 for five years. 12

Roy Richards This has an appetizing, deep coal dustt nose. Second nose is flatter and more oxidative. Palate is very fresh and salty, not a great structure, but with age, gaining in distinction or decay. 14

Franco Ziliani: Intense violet-ruby color. The nose shows good elegance and complexity with ripe cherry, plum, licorice, aromatic herbs and pepper notes. The palate is well-balanced, with rich, fleshy fruit, solid tannins, good richness, and an interesting freshness given by a vibrant acidity. Very good to drink now, with ageing potential. 16.5
