Nicolas Belfrage: Dull color. You have to struggle a bit to get the nose, which, when it comes, is fairly typical. One expects it to be a little dilute on the palate, and it is, fading quickly and leaving little. 12

Simon Larkin: Pale hue, already brick to the rim. There is a sweet aspect to both the nose and the palate, as well as a floral lift. Vibrant cherry fruit, with gently grippy tannins. This is a light, elegant, traditional style that shows modest complexity. Certainly correct, with a pleasing, cool sense of ripeness. Quite glossy and textural, with a fine, flowing finish. Good but not inspiring (if that’s not to damn with faint praise). 13.5

Franco Ziliani: Deep ruby color. Wild and earthy notes, as well as ripe cherry and plum on the nose. The fruit is well expressed, with a hint of licorice and spice. Medium body, no great structure or persistence; light, simple, no great complexity. 13.5
