BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Not a big color; lovely fruity nose. Simple delicious wine, almost ready to drink, with refined tannins indicating an interesting future, too 15.5

Thierry Desseauve: Light color; supple fruit; supple but elegant body. Half-bodied; excellent balance 15

Michael Schuster: Light and lightly oaky nose; simple, straightforward, crisply red fruit in character; barely any tannin but quite a marked acidity. Needs a good thick sandwich! Now–2015 12
