Overview

Jesús Barquín: Deep and concentrated color. Serious nose, licorice, with animal notes, leesy. Aggressive tannin; not enjoyable. 10.5

Nicolas Belfrage: Deep, almost opaque. A little shy on nose, some kirsch just poking through. Good components on palate but untogether as of now. Needs 3–5 years. 14

Andrew Jefford: Saturated dense black-red in color. Slightly constrained, and not wholly typical: jonquil. Tangy, light, strange, off-beam. 11
