BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Deep, limpid red. Almost offensively keroseney and herbaceous, in contrast to many of its 2012 peers. Ditto on the palate, and for me undrinkable. | 75

Anne Krebiechl | A nose of deep, black-fruited ripeness, has the heady aroma of elderberry. The deeply aromatic lift of this plays throughout the palate, shimmering with its deep, dark but tart allure. The palate is unforced and just ripe, tart but brilliant. Juicy and moreish, with innate balance and harmony. Very, very moreish and totally disarming. | 95

Jancis Robinson | Shaded garnet. Rather unsubtle elderberry flavor on the nose. A simple, one-dimensional fruit-dominated wine. Not the most subtle. Raw. 2016–22. | 88
