Alex Hunt: Clear-colored, fruit-forward, youthful, but also rather heady, this Grenache feels like it could have done with longer élevage to settle down. Perhaps this composure will emerge in bottle, but for now it’s too light and juicy-jammy to hide the alcohol, lacking some structure and definition. 84

Andrew Jefford: Clear, pale red. Very slightly toffeed; with some plum fruits behind. A simple charm here. Soft, sweet, open; also a touch toffeed. Attractive wine in a gentle, unintimidating style. 85

Peter Liem: Taut in structure and light in body, this shows bright notes of red fruit complicated by savory, Marmite-like flavors. While it doesn’t feel entirely complete on the palate, it’s intriguing for its individuality, and it keeps you coming back for more. 89
