Jesús Barquín:Marked by overripeness and sweetness, versus phenolic notes and unattractive aromas of soap. The palate shows tannin and alcohol still wanting integration. Not among the finest example in the tasting. 12.5

Richard Mayson:Very good, deep, opaque color; a distinctly green edge on the nose and on the palate. Some attractive berry fruit but rather short and one-dimensional on the finish. 12

Charles Metcalfe:Sweet, red-fruited, seems relatively light. Yes, a lightish style, with gentle tannins and soft red-fruit flavors. Smooth, easy, early-drinking style, but balanced and fresh. Harmonious, appealing. 14.5
