Bruno Besa | Garnet to pink. Open, rather decadent and slightly overripe nose, with rosewater and strawberry jam. A surprisingly lean palate, with good minerality yet slightly simple fruit. Clean finish. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Clear black-red. Unusual smoky bacon scents, toast, toffee, and a sweet nuttiness. Cellar handling? Not unattractive, but a little obvious compared to the best of its peers. Lots of sweetness, for sure. Quite a beefy style of fruit—grown on heavy clay? Firm, deep, full, chunky, and beefy-sweet. Exuberant wine with plenty to enjoy. | 86

Anthony Rose | Good medium-ruby; a touch of oak on the nose, but not excessive; pleasant red fruit on the palate, quite juicy and appealing in texture, just a tad sinewy, too, the cherry fruit showing a firmish spine of acidity and just a tad dry on the finish; but good structure and overall balance. | 91
