BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Pure and fresh, with some red-fruit character on a background of blackberry fruit. Has good acidity and notes of warm herbs and sour cherries. Finishes with some bitterness and sourness. | 87

Peter Richards | Fresh cassis with herbal tones. Fine, firm tannin. Juicy acidity. Nice mix of red and black fruits, some good freshness and lift here. Not perhaps the most distinctive or edgy style, it feels fairly middle of the road, but it’s correct and precise. Neat and tidy. Alcohol is notable on the finish, though, so could be toned down in that respect. | 90

David Williams | Smoothly ripe and intense, with plenty of ripe, verging on stewed, fruit. Powerful and easeful sweet fruit, but rather lacking in refinement and definition. | 86
