Nicolas Belfrage: Quite deep, verging on opaque. Neutral nose and disjointed palate. Tannins are slightly harsh, and there’s not enough fruit to compensate. 85

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to tawny. Complex, meaty nose of black fruits and forest undergrowth. Balanced, rich, full-bodied palate. Well made but fairly simple. 87

Andrew Jefford: Saturated deep black-red. Complex, mixedripeness aromas, but lots of wealth and charm to them. Vivid, lively, and thrusting. Lively, dense, chewy, rich, earthy, and generous. This is a big-shouldered, broad-chested wine, with a huge amount to enjoy in here: fiery and invigorating. 88
