BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear red. Sweet hay and vetiver scents, with shy fruits. Pretty and enticing—though I don’t sniff it and think, “Ah, Pinot...!” Smooth, light, and rather linear on the palate. It’s a correct wine with some depth of flavor, but it lacks a little loveliness. | 84

Anne Krebiechl | A nose of tart morello cherry. An almost slight palate that has elegance and poise. Tartness and fine-boned grip are the hallmarks here. There is a certain delicacy, a certain vivid, northerly freshness that has captured all of the aromatic fruit without leaning on wood or extraction. A translucent and firm but convincingly aromatic style with a wonderfully slender, sprightly body. | 94

Jancis Robinson | Pale blackish crimson. Not 100 percent clean on the nose. And pretty austere on the palate. Rather a lack of fruit. A tad more interesting than basic red, but not a success for me. 2018–20. | 86
