Jesús Barquín: Fresh blackberries and strawberries in orange juice, seriously fruit-driven, with even a note of passion fruit. The palate echoes these notes, to a cloying degree. Too much exotic fruit for my taste. 13.5
Alex Hunt: Some refreshing savory notes here, but also tired, baked aromas. Odd palate: Despite a core of beautiful fresh berry fruit, and a lighter weight that corresponds with slightly lower alcohol, there is still a dominant raisined component that negates these sources of finesse. 14
Andrew Jefford: Dense, dark black-red in color. Meaty, slightly funky aromas; a bit of a stew. Full, plain, straightforward, with the generosity of the place to it but without any density and finesse, and with less purity than most. 11.5
