BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Still deep and good looking, with plenty of red resource left. A little simple in aromatic style, but at least we are still in classic raspberry-cherry territory. Touch candied. Deep and almost oppressively candied on the palate, too: a low acid, very ripe incarnation of Pinot with some structure and surviving tannin, yet in the end the flavors are very simple and tangy, alas. I would really struggle to drink this. | 75

Anne Krebiechl | Very plump fruit plays on the nose. This has a touch of almost confected fruit that plays on nose and palate. The body has an edge of bitterness but is fluid and vivid, youthful and only just evolving. There is a spine of freshness that spells brightness and joy. An earthy note resonates on the finish. | 93

Jancis Robinson | Dark crimson! Heady and sweet and medicinal. Not pure enough. Very chewy tannins. Not appetizing. But bold. 2017–22. | 88
