SF | Deeply stained purple and an unusual nose of nutmeg and shoe polish; there is a touch of volatility, which masks and undermines what may well be an impressive crop of fruit. 86
AJ | Dense, dark, opaque purple black. Odd, varnishy or estery aromas. We try two bottles, and both are distressing, with a strange chemical note which should really not be there (and which shouldn't have got through the DO tasting).Drink Dates: 2026 - 2029. 74
RM | Deep opaque with a ripe but slightly stalky vegetal character on the nose; less noticeable on the palate, some soft fleshy-plummy fruit and broad ripe tannins rising in the mouth but it is still marked by a slightly green, stalky finish.Drink Dates: 2030 - 2045. 75
