BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Dark though not deep black-red. Warm, lively, and fresh cherry fruits, well-defined if simple and straightforward. Juicy and cherryish wine: quite delicious, for early drinking. Lovely fresh ripeness here. 2018–20. | 87

Michael Schuster | Sweetly ripe fruit on the nose; medium-full, fresh, and finely tannic; for the moment the (moderate) tannic structure rather dominates the fruit presence; a touch edgy but will be fine with food. Modest scope and length. Now to 2027. | 87
