BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Correct color. Slightly neutral nose, also palate, though plenty of minerally aromas/ flavors and some sweet fruit to carry it through. Not an easy wine to appreciate, but correct and with the possibility of aging well. Drink from 2014 for 15 years - 16

Stephen Brook: Deep red. Lifted nose, raspberry coulis and a touch of mint leaf. Medium-bodied but has intensity and purity of fruit, showing a lighter touch than many other wines. Good acidity confers freshness, and the tannins are very ripe. There’s a deceptive simplicity here, but that purity and drive lift the wine and head to a long, satisfying finish. Admirably balanced and beautifully made - 18

Jancis Robinson: Mid- to dark rusty color. Well-melded nose with some freshness on the palate, but a bit austere and unknit overall. Very hard work to taste! This could do with a little bit more of a core of fruit. Drink 2015–20 - 15
