Alex Hunt: This nose has an off-putting oxidative, volatile feel. The structure of the wine seems classy and the acidity fresh, but there’s a gaping hole where the fruit should be. In the absence of a second bottle, it’s not clear if this is representative, but it has to be marked as such. 78

Andrew Jefford: Deep, dark black-red, with some opacity. This wine is more reductive than herbaceous, but there’s a bit of both here. Slightly alarming yogurty style, too. Texturally rich, yet the purity and ripeness of fruit are just not there, though this wine is not grassy or herbaceous for me. 80

Peter Liem: This is constricted and taut, its fruit feeling ripe yet clamped down by its tannic structure. 87
