BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Delicate and fine-drawn. Going into a sleep and not giving too much soon. Be patient 17

Simon Field: Expressive citric nose, with notes of smoke, slate, and autumnal evenings evidenced. Palate is broad, velvety, and quite raw; a chronicle of potential rather than the finished article, but all the components are sui generis 17

Tom Stevenson: Peppery citrus fruits. Clean and refreshing 16
