Nicolas Belfrage: Attractive ruby with a tawny edge. Nose a little unforthcoming, but the quality and freshness are good. Plenty of fruit, flavor, ripe tannin, and lip-smacking acidity in the mouth but still needs to come together. Fine wine. Drink from 2018. 89

Bruno Besa: Garnet to tawny. A touch closed, yet a complex nose of small red fruit, mineral, tobacco, and cedarwood. Full body, with layered, refined tannins and a long, only slightly rustic finish. 90

Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. Sweet, full, and appealing, yet holding itself a little in reserve for the time being. Fine aromatic lineaments here, yet you feel they will be more articulate after a half-decade in bottle (in contrast to many other 2011s). On the palate, though, I don’t find the same levels of reserve: This is, in fact, quite an open wine, correctly constituted, a little dryly fruited, yet grave and graceful, with a secondary, reduced meat jus quality to lend density and succulence to those pianissimo fruits. Good vineyards and beautifully aged. It’s one of those wines that risks being a little underwhelming when you first encounter it, yet there is so much detail and nuance here that by the end of the bottle you are begging for more. Masterly work. A great bottle, yet this score could rise even further. 96
