Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2014-2024, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2015
Blackish ruby. Rather a muddy nose. Lots of fresh and rather simple fruit and acidity – rather than tannins – dominating the overall impression. Though there is a little, slightly scrawny tannin. (JR)

Lots of smudgy evolution at the rim. A bit sweaty; damp fur on the nose. Brett? (JR)

Fully mature rim. Light nose. Hint of oxidation. Lightweight and low key. Lots of acidity. Lunchtime claret. Tannins already melted. (JR)

Score 85/100 · Drink 2009, Robert Parker, Apr 1999
A soft, easy-going, ripe, dried herb and red currant-scented wine, this 1996 is surprisingly open and evolved. It is made in a mainstream, consumer-friendly style that will have wide appeal, although it is neither concentrated nor complex. Drink it over the next decade.
