Nicolas Belfrage: Medium depth, some turn. Oak and herbfruit on the nose. Plenty of sweet ripe fruit, good balance, with ripe tannins and okay acidity. Good but not exciting. Drink from 2018. 89

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to pink, tawny. A ripe nose, exuberant oak with mature black and red fruit in the background. A broad yet refined palate, sweet fruit and a long finish with fine tannins right to the end. A wine that needs another couple of years to better integrate the oak, yet it is well made and generous. 90

Andrew Jefford: Deep, clear black-red. Warm, sweet, pruney, dry, gingery, even a touch of anise: lots of sweet spice to qualify the fruit here. Ample in girth, with plenty of concentrated red fruits, and a style that proves less sweet than the aromas suggested. Deliciously ripe acidity and some super planty depths here, too: What a hugely enjoyable, lifeenhancing, meal-enhancing red wine. All that’s missing is the refinement and class of the very best, but we’re not far off, and no Brunello-loving drinker could fail to enjoy the generous, exuberant pleasures on offer here. 90
