Tim Atkin | Opaque, dense. Concentrated and firm. Serious, high acidity, quite extracted, with high-toast oak. Rich, savory, sweet. Youthful. High acid, surrounded by plush fruit. Minerally finish. | 16.5

Alex Hunt | An uncomfortable blend of jammy, almost raisined fruit with dusty, vegetal notes. Quite smoky, ashy—like a spent cigarette. Hard texture in the mouth. Not a lot of appeal here. | 11

Stephan Reinhardt | Dark ruby. Very ripe and plummy on the nose, chocolate and cocoa flavors. Attacks the mouth with salt, like a salted water for pasta. Rich, sweet, and intense, firm tannins, pure on the finish, very powerful, but slightly drying out. Irritatingly salty without being mineral. | 15
