BUY THE WINE

Alex Hunt | While the color seems fine, the nose betrays oxidation, which on the palate manifests as a sort of late-picked, honeyed flavor. Already tired and fading. | 76

Andrew Jefford | Deep, dark red. Simple and slightly repellant tinned-cherry fruits here. Clunky, primary, and unrefined on the palate, though generous. | 78

Anthony Rose | Jammy sweet oxidation on the nose, seriously baked fruit that’s way too oxidized for its own good. A second bottle was tried, and although initially fresher, it soon went in the same downhill direction. | 74
