Nicolas Belfrage: Some evolution in color. Red fruits and plums on the nose. Good attack, with fruit expanding and funneling back at the finish, where tannins give it structure and acids freshness. Drink from 2018. 90

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to tawny. Developed, decadent nose with prune juice, forest undergrowth, smoked meat, and dried herbs. Round, mature, with superrefined tannins, long and clean. Generous wine, yet a touch too overripe for my personal taste. 94

Andrew Jefford: Light, clear black-red. A slightly grubby, earthy nose, with boisterous red fruits beneath. Generous, but a little stewy and muddled on the palate, too. Perfectly drinkable nonetheless. 82
