BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Deep black-red in color, with rather gruff, earthy-oaky aromas taking the lead over the subdued fruit. Cool and rather threadbare in style on the palate. Drink 2018–20. | 84

Michael Schuster | Sweetly ripe, mineral, aromatic Cabernet- based nose; nicely balanced mid-weight wine, fresh and finely tannic; sweetly ripe in fruit, of modest complexity within its fairly firm tannic frame, and with nice length, satisfying lesser Pauillac for tasty fare. Give it 4–5 years ideally. 2023–30+. | 88
