BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium depth; correct. Mildly herbal aromas. Bright, savory sweet wine of good structure and fruit quality; has length but is a little too pointed. Drink from 2014+- 16:

Bruno Besa: Deep garnet to tawny rim. Clean, defined, youthful red-fruit nose; a touch closed red-fruit character, with hints of roses and violets. Medium to full body, with fragrant yet mature black and red fruits and a lovely almost mint-like finish- 16:

Jancis Robinson: Blackish crimson. Peppermint nose with some dried herbs. Sweet start. Really rather brutal. As though informed by “modern red wine” rather than a Barolo vineyard. Not my cup of tea, but it certainly delivers ripe fruit. Drink 2015–23- 14 :
