Nicolas Belfrage: Medium-deep with turn. Complex herb and floral perfumes. Mid-bodied wine of no great concentration but good type and eminent drinkability. Should be good for ten years from vintage. 88

Bruno Besa: Garnet to tawny. A touch closed on the nose, yet complex and restrained, with prunes, leather, and forest undergrowth. Medium to full body with mature fruit and soft tannins. Well made yet a touch overripe. 89

Andrew Jefford: Deep red-black. Slightly tanky; lacks precision and grace. Hard, harsh, bitter-ending; Barolo on autopilot, I’m afraid. 78
