BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Mid-straw/lemon. Nose a little flat and unexpressive. Palate oaky and quite fat, with marked alcohol, not enough acidity, and a bitter, oak-powered finish. You sense that the fruit is good, but it’s been picked too late 12.5

Jesús Barquín: Straw yellow. The nose displays a slight tired note, as of reduction, but the palate grows with good nerve and intensity, persistent, resting on a bitter note. As it opens up with air, the reductive note whiffs off. The palate is consistently good 14.5

Simon Field: Full of color, viscous of temperament, but with a pleasingly restrained nose, not without typical stone-fruit character. The palate is rich and finely woven, its citric fruit personality supported by a mineral bedrock and a peppery backdrop. Fine and subtle, long and rewarding 17.5
