Tim Atkin: Youthful, concentrated, blackberryish red, quite tannic in style. Lots of richness and texture and oak. A little over-the-top, but good balance and length. Lots of oak, bold and expressive, has the acidity of Rioja, but pretty ripe and dense. Lots of oak. Slightly dry? Modern. 14

Jesús Barquín: Deep cherry, almost opaque. Powerful and ripe. So much excess prevents detailed appreciation. Lots of alcohol, ripeness, oak… Modern. 13.5

Marcel Orford-Williams: Lovely nose. Big and sweet. Open and ripe. The finish, though, is disappointing, a bit mean and woody. Old-style. 13
