BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Light garnet to orange. Clean, intense, mineral nose, with lively small-red-fruit and fresh-cut herbs. Medium body, clean and inviting, yet a touch simple on the finish. | 88

Stephen Brook | Raspberry compote nose, with a whiff of woodsmoke. Medium-bodied, very ripe and almost sweet, with firm tannins and ample concentration. The acidity seems mild, so it lacks some drive and force, but it’s appealing, with sufficient length to keep one interested. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Very light and clear now. Lifted, light, and forthcoming, but a little taut and dry in style. Soft, graceful, and elegant; very open-pored and drinkable, with brisk tannin providing more balance than acidity. Fully ripe and accessible, but with some soprano finesse. | 91
