Essi Avellan: Deep cherry-red color. Gunpowder-complexed, rich red-berry nose. Fleshy and wide but singular palate with good length. Lacks refinement but otherwise enjoyable. 16

Simon Field: Rosehip coloring and hints of syrup on the nose. The palate indulges with damsons and figs, oxidation and reserve wines both playing their part, but the overall impression is raw and a little uncooked. 12

Tom Stevenson: A medium color, with plenty of fruit, good acidity, and a well-aimed dosage, but a tad angular, lacking interest and finesse for me. 16
