BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Attractive fruit-dominated nose. Fresh clean acidity on the palate melds well with the medium-intense fruit-flavors, sweet and sour, ready for drinking now but possible to keep. 90

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to pink, tawny. A touch closed, a herbal, medicinal nose, with spicy, black-fruit character. High-tone, slightly green and simple palate. I’m afraid this is not showing well at present, but I also rather doubt that it will in the future. 88

Andrew Jefford: Clear black-red. A shapely aromatic profile of refined charm: ripe red fruits but a cool freshness, too, lending them precision and poise. A clean, cool charmer on the palate, too, pure and fresh, brisk and long, with plenty of slender grace to it. 88
