BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Mid depth of green-gold color. Fresh, leafy, charming—but at the same time, subtle and deftly shaded, with a sense of the stones rattling behind. The palate is smooth, finegrained, seamless, and deep: a brilliant stroll out across the tightrope, perfectly poised between fresh and primary charms on one side, and subtle, vinous, and secondary charms on the other. Fine aromatic potential in the mouth, too. Mouth-filling, engaging, and satisfying: What more can you ask for? Outstanding wine of huge gastronomic aptitude17

Andreas Larsson: The nose is intense, displaying notes of herbs, grape skins, and green apple. There’s some but not too much bitterness on the palate, adding flavors of grape skin and citrus peel. Well-rounded acidity and a decent length14

Stephan Reinhardt: Fresh, ripe, and simple fruit flavors (some woody notes?); a touch of buttermilk. Succulent, intense fruit on the palate; powerful and quite astringent; really drying out in the end. Quite rustic13
