Simon Field | Oaky style, behind that wild strawberry, graphite, and liqueur de cassis. Potent yet incisive, the power pervasive and ultimately persuasive. Food-friendly and clearly capable of evolution. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Deep-hued, though translucent. Gutsy, but a note of herbaceousness here: raisin and plant sap. The flavors are rather spoiled by that green, herbaceous note as well. Inharmonious. | 82

David Williams | Candied red and black fruit, with just a hint of something more savory emerging behind the scenes suggesting this would benefit from a bit of age to help it loosen up a little and lose the squeaky clean feel. | 87
