Tim Atkin: Mid-ruby/garnet. A very delicate nose, again showing a hint of Tempranillo character. Sweet savory fruit, fresh acidity, good balance; medium-weight style, touch of oak. Refreshing finish, with lots of depth and body 16

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium, bright. Up-front cherry-berry aromas repeated on palate with soft-ish tannins and mouthwatering acidity. Very commercial product, with more charm than seriousness—but hey, we could do with a bit more charm 14.5

Bruno Besa: Black core to thin ruby rim. Broad, layered, and mineral nose, with black cherries and cassis and hints of cedarwood. Full body, with slightly unbalanced tannins, yet clean and long. Maybe just too young at present 17
