    89–91. Barrel sample. Intense acidity and bright black-currant fruit makes this wine fresh and fruity. There's firm tannic structure at the core, but it's at the service of the fruit. This is a wine that's likely to age over the medium term.

    91-93 Powerful and concentrated, with wood dominant. It's hard to find the fruit through the planks, although the wine does have the weight to give it promise for the future.
