BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Youthful purple/ruby. Aromatic, but with a touch of geranium. Rather extracted and oaky on the palate, with some dryness. Firm, chewy and underfruited 10

Nicolas Belfrage: Very deep and out of balance, with coffee grounds mingling with raspberry fruit in a rich somewhat soupy concoction. Curiously, it’s drinkable, but rather blousy 13.5

Bruno Besa: Black core to garnet rim. Open and mature nose, with good fruit, yet a touch rustic and vegetal nose. Medium to full body; fairly balanced but quite rustic 14.5
