BUY THE WINE

Alex Hunt: The color is clear, but the nose is a little inky/tarry for now. The palate, by contrast, is surprisingly vegetal—not that that is a problem in itself, but there’s an underlying soupiness that suggests this is evolving quickly. Not much lift to the flavor for such a young wine; the future doesn’t seem all that bright. 81

Andrew Jefford: Deep, clear red. Lots of pure red fruits on the nose, with a very slight rubbery cast. Better on the palate: clean plum/strawberry backed by supple tannins in a soft, engaging, kick-back-and-enjoy style. 88

Peter Liem: This is supple and tense, its red-fruit flavors feeling ripe and expressive yet suspended within a taut and lively structure. It feels light in body despite its 14% ABV, and it finishes with delicately fragrant length. 91
