BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Translucent mature red. Warm, soft, rounded, ripe, and enticing: an appealing scent of good Pinot given wise élevage. Vivid, rounded, lively, tangy; sustained redcurrant fruits, though just a little bitter at the end. But at root this is well made and gratifying; fully ready now. Not concentrated, even if stylistically very well judged. | 89

Anne Krebiechl | Smoked meat sets a heady accent on the nose. The palate is brimful with freshness and some sharp heat; it is the fruit that lags behind. It only wakes slowly, coming in with the tart aroma of redcurrant but proclaiming far riper richness of cherries in Kirsch. There is a peppery, spicy finish, but the note of heat lingers. | 93

Jancis Robinson | Dark ruby. Mushroomy evolved nose. Rich fruit and masses of pleasure aromatically, even if the acid level is a little elevated. Hint of rusty nail on the end. 2016–21. | 89
