Tim Atkin | The densest wine of the tasting. Very concentrated. Aromatic, spicy, and slightly reductive, with pepper spice and clove. Fresh acidity, some ginger notes, very mineral, with subtly integrated oak. Good length. Smart wine. Dense and compact and well balanced. | 17

Alex Hunt | Some sleek black-fruit aromas, but also a distinct rubbery/latex character. Tough, bitter palate—strikingly so, as if Campari had been added. Coherent on its own terms, but a hard-core example. | 14.5

Stephan Reinhardt | Deep and dark ruby. Leather aromas, slightly reductive, but intense in its dark fruit aromas. Vibrant, grippy, very powerful, yet reductive, extremely ripe fruit flavors, silky, very long and powerful, might have good potential. Still seems very young. | 16.5
