Andrew Jefford | Clear orange-red, the color of an old-fashioned Tavel. Bottle 1: Corked. Bottle 2: Rather a dull nose, in truth, lacking freshness and lift. Thin and dreary on the palate; a wine to avoid, for me. | 77

Anne Krebiechl | The nose gives little away. The palate is barely there; this is translucent and very, very delicate. There is an old-fashioned earthiness that seems reminiscent of a large barrel, but underneath there is tender strawberry fruit. The finish is short. | 89

Jancis Robinson | Markedly pale ruby—almost rose-tawny! First bottle: TCA. Second bottle seems to have virtually no nose at all! Austere palate that seems to have eaten up the fruit but if you dig deep there is some grainy sandy Pinot down there. Light and lively and rather impressively long. A strange wine that builds toward the end but is almost unsmellable. 2018–23 | 88
