BUY THE WINE

Alison Buchanan: Corked. NS

Jancis Robinson: Red, hint of garnet. Deep, dark fruit, subtle, perfumed, ripe musky fruit, lipsmacking tannins kick in. Length a little on the austere side, but with food this should be a blinder. Drink up. 17

Jeremy Watson: This has promise but is still very closed. Potentially, this is a very good wine, but when? It’s already 10 years old and should be in its prime. 16
