Essi Avellan: Deep, peach-hued lemon color. Pronounced, evolving, highly fragrant nose, with waxy and spicy tones. Some oxidative characters. The palate is spicy and woody, round but finishing short. | 86

Simon Field: Full-bodied, deep in color, and with a nose that marries red fruit, oak, and untrammeled exuberance. There is a tannic undertow here, which demonstrates both seriousness of intent and culpability in its ensuing execution. | 87

Tom Stevenson: Volatile oak again. Not as bad as some. | 82
