Zekun Shuai - JamesSuckling.com
Ripe, racy aromas of dark plums, cherries, dark earth, walnut husks, dark mushrooms and graphite. Restrained and rather understated in style, with a medium body evenly packed with juicy fruit and fine-grained tannins. Firm and pretty long in the finish.

Ines Salpico - Decanter
The fleshy back fruit is perfectly integrated with the subtle savouriness of thyme, wild oregano, macerated sage and mint. Broody tobacco and coffee beans play in the blackground and there is a subtle, moreish hint of molasses. This is focused and deep, with some potential to age further in bottle.
