Michael Edwards: Very good, even ripe color: solid, constant nose of red/black fruit, very healthy and deep. Sleeping a little on the palate but with plenty of latent, potentially rich, and durable flavors-16.5

Andrew Jefford: Saturated black-red. Lifted and warm: a compost of herbs, with some further furry feral intrigue for those who like that kind of thing. This is, in fact, one of the lightest wines in the tasting in terms of its concentration and depth of fruit, which, combined with the dangerous aromatics and recessive tannins, makes it relatively disappointing-10.5

Marcel Orford-Williams: Somewhat raw. Good middle and fruit, but finish is dry and a little lean. Needs food-14
