Andrew Jefford | Dark, somber black-red. Sweet, warm, and oaky aromas, with no particular aperçu into any fresh fruit; a touch of fine leather. It’s amply oaky on the palate, too, and for me the fruit is struggling to keep up. Drink soon before the oak sinks its drying fangs into what fruit there is. | 84

Michael Schuster | Sweet, ripe-fruited, lightly oaky nose; full-bodied, firmly if finely tannic, a long-term balance. Sweetly ripe in fruit, long and complex across the palate, mineral-tinged, spicy, tenacious wine, rewarding and with excellent aromatic length. Needs at least a decade. 2027–40+. | 93
