BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium deep. Some evolution on the nose: herb and dried fruit. Firm tannin, good concentration, plenty of attributes that should bring it around in two years. Firm structure, classic character. 15.5

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to orange rim. Touch musty nose, with little fruit and charm. Well-structured palate, yet a touch green on the finish. 12

Stephen Brook: Very deep red. Smoky, toasty black-cherry nose. Medium-bodied, this has an attractive limpidity, as well as a sleek texture. There’s fresh acidity on the palate and some fine-grained tannins. It’s the balance and cut that give this some distinction. It’s not flashy, but it’s harmonious and should evolve and show more complexity in time. Good length. 17
