Michael Edwards: Purple-black intensity. Minty, eucalyptus character is beguilingly asserting itself again. Black-fruit intensity on palate—any Cabernet Sauvignon? Very fine-17

Andrew Jefford: Saturated black-red, though without any brightness of hue now. Quiet aromas of the terminus: soft, gentle fruit out of which the acidity is beginning to prickle. Tired and astringent, lacking any element of fruit, lift, or poise. I’m afraid this wine needs a complete rethink-7

Marcel Orford-Williams: Lovely fruit here. Complex and long. Well nigh perfect and à point. There is some dryness but this is screaming for food. Lovely and complete-18
