BUY THE WINE

Ella Lister: First bottle: extracted fruit and dryness. New bottle: The bouquet recalls damp autumn leaves underfoot. Then mushroomy notes, raspberry jam, floral overtones, and rosehip. Good presence and fruit liveliness on palate, with a core of ripe red fruits—raspberry and plum. Very pretty.
