BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Mid garnet/red. Lighter, more savory style, with medium intensity. Very tannic palate, with almost Nebbiolo-like dryness. Some fruit sweetness, but a huge tannic overlay. Firm and dry finish. Needs food 14

Nicolas Belfrage: Deep color. Nose a bit quiet but palate fully charged, high alcohol compensated for with firm acid and high concentration of fruit. Needs time but promises well 17
