BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: A success in the tradition of recent vintages from this growth. Lovely ripe fruit and very succulent flesh. The tannins are firm but with a well-controlled aggression. The cedar aromas, with just a little more definition, would rival those displayed by some of its neighbours. 16

Margaret Rand: Very approachable, with juicy, vivid, spicy fruit and a long finish. 16.5
