Tim Atkin: Mid-garnet/brick red. Light, slightly insubstantial nose. Palate also a little thin and one-dimensional. A wine that lacks depth. Dry tannins, not much fruit, and a faintly gamey undertone. Can’t see this improving. 10

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium deep color; a little dumb on the nose, but a very “Sangiovese” structure on the palate, with quite fierce acidity (associated with cooler years) and wild cherry fruit, while tannins are reasonably in check, if firm. Needs a bit of time; drink 2015+. 15

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to tawny rim. Intense, refined, mineral nose, with mature red cherries, cinnamon, and cedarwood. Medium to full body, with elegant, sweet red fruit and long, mineral, complex finish. 17
