Nicolas Belfrage: Deep but correct with beginnings of turn. Wood dominates nose at present. Medium body has all the components but they don’t add up to a lot. Doubt whether it will improve a lot. 11

Roy Richards Not wholly clean: this impression continues. The palate is sour. No pleasure here. 7

Franco Ziliani: Intense, but brilliant and not inky color. Nose is very appealing, complex, multi-dimensional, with ripe but not overripe fruit (cassis and cherry), aromatic herbs, underbrush, maybe leathery and meaty notes of great creaminess, large, sunny.
