Bruno Besa | Garnet to pink. Intense, mineral, lively yet complex red-fruit, geranium, and crushed-stone nose, with hints of orange marmalade, mint and sage, cloves and cinnamon. Beautifully balanced palate, with mature yet perfectly pristine red and black fruit, and a long, complex, and exuberant finish. | 96

Andrew Jefford | Clear garnet red. A less successful aroma set than many of its peers, with some constraint, and less pure lift of fruit. Give it time. The wine clears later, and settles down to a soft, smooth-contoured roundedness. A dry, slightly constrained, bitter-edged palate, too, though deep and long; best with food over the mid-term. | 88

Anthony Rose | Medium ruby, a hint of evolution toward garnet in the rim; the nose is a tad shy, brooding, immediately sweetly ripe-cherry fruit quality, excellent purity of fruit, with weight and richness, fine tannins, almost juicy, seductively styled, with juicily refreshing acidity on the finish. | 93
