Stephen Brook: Very deep red. Lean cherry nose, with some discreet use of oak. Medium-bodied, sleek, finely tuned, no blockbuster but it’s not raisiny and there is some freshness and energy here. A fairly modest wine but it’s well balanced, with subtle tannins, and has decent length. 16.5

Stephen Browett: Clumsy and a bit dry. Nothing interesting here today. 12

Michael Schuster: Dark red; quite scented fruit to smell; well balanced in a slight way, nice ripe fruit, but a bit stretched, a bit dry textured; quite refined, fresh for the vintage, but lacking in depth and richness to be anything special. 14
