Mark Slater
C - Very good appearance. N - Sulphur mars bouquet. P - Light, almost 'transparent' texture, below average flavor quality, falls flat. Thin, uninspired.
Andreas Larsson
C - Clear, developed, medium ruby. N - Developed with spices, mocha, leather and berries. P - Dry, very marked tannins, dried fruits, long.
Teresa Perez
C - Clean, brilliant, intense cherry red. N - Noble notes of reduction, jammy, cooked plums, animal notes (wet hide), mineral touch - pencil lead. Very fine aromatic expression, quite intensity. P - Light attack, silky phase, medium bodied. Tannic presence quite pronounced. Some balance. Quite long finish. Excellent bouquet, but more average in the mouth.
Yoichi Sato
C - Very dark, deep and dense garnet. N - Agreeable attack, leather, nutty nuances, quite complex aromas. USAn oak fragrances. P - Clean attack, marked acidity, wood flavors, drying in the mouth. Acidity continues throughout. Barrel treatment overwhelms all fruit and balance.
Giuseppe Vaccarini
C - Ruby garnet. N - Slight notes of reduction, yet fruit and spice fragrances.
P - Alcoholic attack, round bodied, but tannic. Dry tannins on the after taste. Lovely ripe, red fruit flavors at the end. More interesting in the mouth.
