Tim Atkin: Very youthful crimson/purple. Aromatic, attractive, intense. More tannin than you’d expect from the nose and the initial impression: sweet fruit, firm mid-palate. Highish alcohol. Sweet oak. Needs more time to settle into itself. Three to five years. I think this has potential. 17.5

Gerard Basset: Deep purple, with a pink/blue rim. Very intense. Blackberry and black prune, with Asian spices. Foursquare but ripe on the palate, good black fruit in retro. Medium-long finish. 16.5

Anthony Rose: Deep youthful ruby; pleasant red-berry-fruit fragrance. This is an attractive cherry and red-berry-fruit style, with undertones of dark chocolate. It’s only just starting to be approachable, though with this level of concentration and substantial chunky tannins—albeit with good fruit richness and oak that’s well integrated—it could do with more time. 16.5
