BUY THE WINE

Alex Hunt | Evolved, beetrooty nose. Still a lot of gas, and not even three years old, yet the gamey, mushroomy flavors are of a Pinot in its second decade. Not a coherent whole. | 78

Andrew Jefford | Dark, slightly soupy-looking wine. Stinky, degenerate nose on bottle 1. Bottle 2: Muddled and uninspiring and not a wine I wish to sip. The flavors are sweet and muddled, too, with a sense of compromised cleanliness and a little dissolved gas (malo issues?). | 71

Anthony Rose | Relatively dark in color for Pinot Noir; the nose of this red is already fairly evolved in both ginger-spicy oak and red fruits. There’s a faint, slightly disturbing spritz on the tongue, before the rhubarb and dark berry fruits kick in and then grip the tongue with a chunky dry muscularity that’s out of kilter with the rest of the wine. Curiouser and curiouser. | 79
