BUY THE WINE

Neil Beckett: Very deep ruby. Still closed on the nose, but a brooding, dried blueberry intensity. Brilliant, very vivid fruit, with brisk, well-integrated acidity, making this very racy for its size and weight. Beautifully balanced, elegant, impeccably managed tannins. Correctly dry on the end finish, and although the flavors have still to fan out fully, this will clearly be superb. Drink to 2030. 18.5
