Nicolas Belfrage: Fairly deep, with some turn on rim. Not an immediately charming nose: less fruit than vegetal. Some tough tannins and not a lot of charm on palate. Needs time, not a lot of fun right now. 14
Bruno Besa: Deep ruby to purple rim. Youthful, clean nose with red fruits and flowers, yet a touch simple; medium body with clean fruit and hints of new oak. Very well made but a bit simplistic. 14.5
Stephen Brook: Very deep red. Dense black-cherry-and-plum nose. Very rich, voluptuous; a tad soft but not too soupy. Very concentrated, with firm oak tannins on the mid-palate and some moderate acidity to keep it alive on the palate. Clearly youthful, but it seems balanced and should develop more complexity with more age. Quite long. 17
