Tim Atkin: Mid-garnet, with some brick-red notes. Aromatic, appealingly developed nose, savory, herbal, with subtle red fruits. Palate a little dry and firm, with marked acidity adding to the impression of dryness. There’s some good fruit sweetness here, but the tannin/acid balance is slightly out of kilter. the wine may come together in the bottle over the next five years or so. 13.5

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium-depth, quite youthful. nose still developing but on the right lines; plum-prune enhanced by hints of oak. Ripe and fruity on the palate, between fresh and dried fruit, with a characteristic bitter twist and ripe but present tannins. Quite good length, but needs a bit of time, best 2014–20+. 16

Bruno Besa: Deep ruby to garnet, tawny rim. Mature, fairly closed but with layered deep black and red fruits and hints of orange peel. Medium to full body, with exuberant tannins. A bit unbalanced and not entirely clean. 14.5
