Nicolas Belfrage: Bright, mid-depth, correct. Attractive cherry and herb aromas. Surprisingly integrated palate, with smooth tannins and bright acidity combined with charming cherry fruit. A wine for early drinking, which is not to say it won’t last. But I suspect it won’t last as long as some that are considerably less drinkable now- 16.5:
Bruno Besa: Garnet to tawny core; tawny, yellow rim. Restrained, elegant, and complex nose, with small red fruits, rose and violet petals, and hints of roasted hazelnuts. Medium to full body, with great balance and definition and a good, persistent finish. Although this is not that structured or complex, it is very enjoyable- 16.5:
Jancis Robinson: Mid-blackish ruby. Pale rim. Muddy nose. Sweet start and without real clarity. Astringent finish. Drink 2016–23- 15.:
