Bruno Besa | Garnet to tawny, pink. Open, ripe cedarwood and prune nose, with earthy complexity and hints of dried herbs and oriental spices. Medium- to full-bodied, with sweet black-fruit character and a lively, slightly decadent, vegetal finish. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Clear, bright red-garnet. Beautifully evolved aromas here: creamy, faintly meaty, faintly milk chocolate, with lovely ruffled plum-sloe fruits. A wine of great aromatic finesse that will surely acquire more layers in the years ahead. Deep, intense, driving fruits; perhaps it is just a little slender already for ultimate greatness, but this is a beautiful wine worth seeking out for its resonant articulacy at this relatively early stage. | 87

Anthony Rose | Mid-ruby; sweet, rich, and savory on the nose at the same time. This has a lovely Sangio character, full of red-fruit purity and, at the same time, with a firmness of tannin and acidity that adds a dimension to the fruit, the structure holding this wine together nicely. | 91
