Stephen Brook: Deep red. Black cherry nose, with a light cooked character. Medium-bodied, sleek, not that concentrated, light tannins, and edgy acidity that suggests a slight greenness in some of the fruit. Not a bad wine but underwhelming. Medium length. 14.5

Michael Schuster: Dark red; quite toasty oak to smell, bit earthy too; dry-edged middle weight with a plain, fluid, rather rustic flavor and tannins; flat, lacking acidity and finishing short. 10
