Bruno Besa | Deep ruby to garnet. Open, ripe, smoke and leather nose, with layered black fruits and hints of cedarwood and oriental spices. Medium- to full-bodied, balanced, clean, and complex black-fruit palate. Long and mineral finish. One for the cellar. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red, just off opaque. Vivid, warm, savory, earthy, and evolved, with some mixed ripeness which of course gives freshness, too: attractive in simple style. A touch herbal. Vivid and lively, but the greenness is a little disappointing in this vintage. | 84

Anthony Rose | Medium-ruby; quite oaky on the nose, and the fruit is so extracted that it pulls the wine up short to reveal a Sangio of mid-length robbed of its terroir character by an excessive chunkiness of tannins and structure before fruit. | 89
