BUY THE WINE

Gerard Basset: Silver green-yellow. A ppley and baked tart. Steely structure with some spices in retro-olfaction. Medium finish. 15

Marcel Orford-Williams: Dry, austere, without much charm. Fruity, quite hard, not especially clean. Waxy. Good length. 14.5

Roy Richards: This bouquet is more fresh and fruit-driven, without being vulgarly varietal. A touch of aniseed. This is a more solid wine, but very consistent. Simple, but sound. 12.5
