Tim Atkin | Wonderfully savory, complex, and engaging with notes of tobacco leaf and forest floor, subtle wood spices, a hint of reduction, and a chalky frisson. | 92

Simon Field | A hint of maturity in the color; brick at the rim, garnet development. The nose is tight and smoky, a little troubled, hints of consommé, spruce, and verbena behind the fruit, most of which is very ripe. A definitive statement, ripe, powerful, and expressive, but still quite loose-knit and hard to define in terms of purpose. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Deep, dark, and translucent red-black. The aromas of this wine lack some finesse: exuberant but earthy, with some sulfides. Rough and ready on the palate, alas, though deep. | 80
