BUY THE WINE

Jesús Barquín:From the start, the nose is clean, minty fresh, attractive, intriguing, and inviting—I want to try this before further verbal juggling. The palate does not disappoint: The flavors replicate the complex aromatic palate. The structure shows fine tannin and powerful acidity that lead the way to an elegant and very long finish. 17.5

Richard Mayson:Very good, opaque color; disconcerting green-leaf aromas, clean and fragrant but not as ripe as some; firm but rather hard green tannins, lacks flesh in the middle, finishes quite well but with slightly bitter, underripe undertones. 12

Charles Metcalfe:Bright red berry fruit. Quite a light flavor profile, with fresh, Victoria plum fruit and gentle tannins. But it’s very harmonious and easy drinking. Not the most ambitious of wines, but balanced and fresh. 14.5
