BUY THE WINE

Ella Lister: Crystal-clear, dried blood-red robe, providing the clearest reflection yet of the frescoed ceiling. Again sweeter, more tertiary fruit, and then a fresher, fern-like top note. On the palate, superb balance, fine-boned, classy as hell. Driven fruit gives a sense of motion.
