Michael Edwards: A pure vivid expression of blackberry fruit on nose and palate; ripe tannins, gras; round without heaviness-16

Andrew Jefford: Dark black-red. Earthy, stewy aromas, with some stock-cube meaty saltiness; little evident fresh fruit. Moderate concentration and modest expression of mid-weight, midripe fruit. Attractive finishing weight and some licorice complexities. It is present and correct but doesn’t quite have the seductive qualities and sense of engaging excess of the best. Satisfying and drinkable wine made from evidently low yields, though, and of its place-13.5

Marcel Orford-Williams: Simple but quite enjoyable. At its best now and beginning to go dry. Nice spicy flavors, with still plenty of sweetness-15
