BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Dark, saturated black-red. Fresh, curranty aromas: classic and clean. Deft and elegant, as vivid as you would expect from the vintage—and in this sense “less Listrac” than usual; there’s little clay-soiled chunkiness here. 2018–21. | 84

Michael Schuster | Lightly earthy nose; light, crisp wine, very little tannin, fairly brief. Pleasant but limited. To drink young. Now to 2021. | 84
