Nicolas Belfrage: Medium depth. A little quiet on the nose but correct, with floral hints. Nice, sweet fruit and good follow-through; typical acid/tannin character; needs time but should come through. 15

Simon Larkin: Deeper hue than most. The nose is subdued. The palate is showy, with creamy, damson-like fruits, reminiscent of a simple modern Tempranillo. Why? Where is the character here? Simple, relatively anonymous, confected, dark cherry fruit. Some undergrowth-like nuances but this misses the mark by a distance. Modest length. A shame. 11.5

Franco Ziliani: Dark ruby color. The nose is not perfectly clean, with some wild game and meat notes. The taste is much better, very broad and harmonious, with great structure, good balance between lively acidity, solid tannins, fruit, and alcohol. Still young, with good aging potential. 15.5
