Mark Slater C - Clear, dense, dark and deep appearance. N - Moderate bouquet, average aromas, mezzo intensity. P - Muted fruit, super dry tannins. Tannins everywhere, in place of flavor and balance, medium short finish. Rustic and hard.
Andreas Larsson C - Nice appearance. N - Quite earthy, mushroom aromas, dark fruits, developed and spicy, nicely intense. P - Nice in the mouth, good fruit, quite tannic, fresh, long finish.
Teresa Perez C - Clean, brilliant, intense red Whiteheart cherry. N - Jammy prune, notes of black olive, hints of pepper and cloves, very good aromas, very nice quality bouquet, deep intensity.

P - Fresh and clean attack, very bitter, burnt notes, empyromatic aromas, limited expression and over long finish for weight of wine. Austere tannins DOMAINEinating.
