Bruno Besa: Garnet to tawny. Open, inviting, complex, earthy, and spicy nose, with black fruit and mushroom and truffle undertones. Medium to full body, with a refined character, fine tannins, and a medium to long, clean, and mineral finish. 92

Andrew Jefford: Very light, clear and translucent. Soft and tissue-like scents of delicately minted fruits. Hints of orange. Stealthy yet compelling. As the nose sketched out ... this is a frankly slender wine but it has some aromatic intrigue, which is evident on the palate, too. Speaking personally, however, I would like more flesh to snuggle up to ... overall it is cool and rather acidic, even tart, at the finish. 80

Michael Palij: Gently oxidized aromas of VA, coffee, fig, prune, and date suggest that this wine has suffered from the heat of 2017. The palate is alcoholic and evolved, with stewed fruit and aggressive tannins that steal away what elegance there might have been. 86
