Tim Atkin: Developed ruby, with brick-red rim. Big, herbal, spicy, densely packed nose. Tannic, dense, chewy, dry, and firm 13

Nicolas Belfrage: Deep color and opulent if easy fruit nose. International style, lots of chunky cherry and blackberry fruit; quite tannic, but a drinker now, not sure about future 14

Bruno Besa: Black core to garnet rim. Open yet slightly dusty nose, with developed-fruit character. Tannic, unbalanced palate, with rustic astringent finish 14
