Bruno Besa | Garnet to pink. Slightly closed, red-fruit and crushed-stone nose, yet complex and refined. Clean, intense, red-fruit palate, a touch high in acidity yet fairly complex, with a long, mineral finish. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear black-red. Rich and forthcoming, with vegetal as well as fruit notes, and some sweetness of style, too. Oak at play, and perhaps a little too much? Lots of charm if you like the style, since it meshes well with the ripe red fruits. Lively and sweet, though lacks layers and intricacy. Ample straightforward charm and exuberance. | 88

Anthony Rose | Youthful ruby hue; intense and intriguing aromatics, combining fruit, herb, and savory notes. Bright purity, but also rich and sweetly ripe cherry fruit on the palate. Not a hair out of place, with very nice weight and complexity of fruit flavors. Appealing in the most seductive sense, deceptively structured and powerful, yet with the energy to ensure that it’s also beautifully balanced. This should keep happily for 10+ years. | 95
