BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Mid-ruby/purple. Perfumed, sandalwood notes; attractive. Peppery, lifted fruit notes, nice aromatics, refreshing acidity. Aglianico meets Tempranillo, with red fruits, good acid, and medium-weight tannins. Slightly dry finish 15.5

Nicolas Belfrage: Deep, almost opaque, not quite. Reduced or overoaked on nose. Very good fruit compromised by this H2S character. Probably overoaked 12

Bruno Besa: Black to ruby and purple. Open, yet a touch vegetal and simple. Medium body, with pleasant yet simple fruit 14.5
