Tim Atkin: Mid-ruby, still youthful. Cherry-and-redpepper nose, with some gentle spice. Medium-bodied style, fresh acidity, wellintegrated tannins. Sweet red fruits. Spice and pepper and persistence 16

Nicolas Belfrage: A relatively light, easy-drinking example, lacking a bit in ripe fruit but easy enough on the palate, without pretending to anything great. Has all the components plus drinkability 14

Bruno Besa: Black core to pink rim. Clean and lively nose, with cassis and redcurrants and hints of aromatic woods. Medium to full body, and balanced with lively clean finish. A very wellmade yet fairly simple wine 14.5
