Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear red, with a whisper of black still. Exuberant, lifted floral and cherry notes: attractive. Some aromatic sweetness, too. Juicy, bright, and fresh, with some depth of fruit matched by oaken sweetness. Not much in the way of extract, tannin, or substance but a wine of true appeal as a young, sweet-tempered Spätburgunder of some classicism. Raspberry to the last. | 89
Anne Krebiechl | A touch of smoky bacon colors the ripe, red, but crunchy cherry fruit. The palate gives tart poise of more tart red fruit—think cranberry—and a still-crunchy, fresh, bright structure that has the lovely grip of starched tulle. The fruit is vivid from start to finish, so this manages to be concentrated but not heavy. The acid lures you in with its unbending freshness. The aromas linger. There is a lovely balance here. | 95
Jancis Robinson | Dark garnet. Very light nose with not that much development, though on the palate there is some ferny quality and melding of tannins. Quite pretty if fragile at the moment. The fruit seems quite ready, but there is still quite a bit of both acid and fine tannin. Beetroot. An amalgam of elements rather than an integrated whole. And with very marked acidity. 2017–22. | 88
