BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Deep and clear, though with plenty of brick in the red. Grassy, stringy scents. Slender and stringy palate with quite a primitive, must-like style; unattractive. | 78

Anne Krebiechl | Meaty smoke and ripe, alluring fruit beckon on the nose. There is a touch of elderberry and a fine line of tart, refined, pure fruit. The freshness is like a fault line that brightens and intensifies everything. The palate is compact and firm, beginning to come round. Elegance and subtlety are hallmarks of this concentrated, little bright, pure gem. | 95

Jancis Robinson | Transparent ruby. Raw and light with sweetness and some rawness. Unsubtle redcurrant flavors and lots of freshness. Marked acidity. 2015–20. | 88
