BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Fine, flowing wine, with approachable pure fruit-16

Andrew Jefford: Saturatedly dark black-red. Gorgeous aromatic profile, evidently Syrah-led, of orange blossom, orange peel, and jasmine. Fragrant, enchanting, and refined; magnificent, heady, and seductive. Nowhere else in the world can do this. Soft, vivid, fresh, and supple, this wine has a magnificent core of soft, profoundly aromatic fruit in which those same notes of orange and jasmine are extravagantly present. It’s not deep or weighty; it doesn’t have a lot of palate wealth; the tannins are fine and supple; the acidity is present but unobtrusive. It is, quite simply, an aromatic tour de force-18

Marcel Orford-Williams: Full fruit. Succulent and rich. Ripe blackberry and maybe a touch of olive and graphite. Delicious-17
