BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Deep garnet/red. Aromatic: quince-jam and mulled-wine aromas. Rich, concentrated, slightly sweet in style. Medium tannins, ripe and jammy. Firm finish, medium alcohol, decent length, but drying out 13

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium, bright. Rubbery nose, slightly burned tires. Some fruit, but middling acidity and tannin; short finish 11

Bruno Besa: Garnet to pink rim. Open, slightly aggressive nose, yet clean and spicy, with small red fruits and hints of mint and cedarwood. Medium body, with lively clean fruit and long mineral finish. A very wellmade wine, with great finesse, yet not very complex 15
