BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium color. Some turn. Nicely developed waft of almost jammy berry fruit on the nose. Repeated on the palate, the sweetness cut by a savory element, a tiny hint of bitterness on the finish, but very ripe, very 2011. 88

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to tawny. Animal, developed nose, fairly overripe black fruit. Medium body with moderate length. 86

Andrew Jefford: Deep, clear black-red in color. Slightly tanky and reductive aromas, with a burned-fruit style. Not a successful aromatic profile. The palate repeats this profile. I would not want to drink this: a mishap or two along the way. 70
