Michael Edwards: More stuffing and core. Lovely fruit expression- 17

Andrew Jefford: Dense, saturated red-purple. Earthy, close-textured, gruff, badger-like or wombatlike, this is a (Mourvèdre-rich?) wine with considerable presence and depth. Very much as the aroma suggested, this is a hugely dense, compact, multilayered, rather stewy, and uncompromising wine of great though constrained force. Long, full, satisfying. It has sweet edges on the palate but otherwise does almost nothing to seduce the drinker; yet that vaguely disturbing aromatic profile that it has is so uncompromising and challenging that you keep going back to the glass again and again. A challenge, but very rewarding- 15.5

Marcel Orford-Williams: Fab fruit, delicious, rich, and sappy. Complete- 19
