Tim Atkin: Deep, concentrated color. Some reduction on the nose. Meaty, savory, quite dry tannins subduing the fruit. Good wine, but the extraction is too much for the fruit. Chewy finish- 15

Alex Hunt: A slightly exaggerated juicy-jelly aroma, with some stinky reductive notes in the background. Acidity sticks out against thicktextured fruit. An ungainly wine- 12

Anthony Rose: Dense youthful color; aromatic plum and prune. Lovely sweetly ripe blackberryfruit quality here, with juicy textured succulence and freshness; well-crafted, intensely flavored fruit quality; lovely warm spice and pepper, very juicy texture, with fine balance, albeit with a little bite on the aftertaste- 16.5
