BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage | Medium depth, some turn. Floral, red-berry fruit on the nose. A blast of ripe fruit on the palate, generous and warm, with good tannin structure that delivers just a hint of bitter on the back-palate to cut the sweetness. Drinking soon for a few years. | 91

Bruno Besa | Garnet to tawny. Slightly closed, black fruits and dried nuts nose, with smoke and cedarwood. Medium to full body, with prunes-and-black- cherries palate. Moderate to long finish. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Light, sustained, clear black-red in color. There is plenty of fresh fruit here, but it’s built in rather abrupt, coarse style. Rough-cut, sweet cherry. Juicy on the palate, but rather dilute and rough- hewn. | 83
