Bruno Besa | Garnet to tawny, pink. Refined, old-school nose, with ripe strawberry and cranberry, and hints of cinnamon, leather, tobacco leaf, and dried rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied palate, clean and intense, with lively acidity and tannins, and a long, mineral, crushed-stone, sour-cherry finish. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Transparent black-red. Bright, rather high-toned aromas; there’s almost a banana sweetness behind the forthcoming red fruits. Not a success for me. The fruits are rather simple and straightforward. A drinkable and indeed enjoyable wine, but without the aromatic intricacy of the best of its peers. | 85

Anthony Rose | Medium ruby; a touch of vanilla oak behind the sweet cherry on the nose; agreeably cherryish fruit, supported by sinewy, almost muscular, tannins, and behind them a freshness verging on the lean, as if containing a proportion of early-picked Sangio grapes. Finishing a tad lean and on the dry side. | 90
