BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Pale straw. Classic Graves-like nose, with some reduction (thiols?). Grapefruit and some gunflint on the nose and a lovely herbal undertone. Smoky, minerally, and dry, with a lovely stony, nettly complexity. Bone-dry; very characterful. A wine that wouldn’t look out of place in Pessac- Léognan 18

Nicolas Belfrage: 1 = color of water and 9 = deep gold: Col 2, almost 1.5. Clean, varietally correct nose, capsicum. Bone-dry and a bit dilute on palate; has varietal character but lacks concentration 12.5

Alex Hunt: Pungent and distinctively Italian Sauvignon, with aromas of grapefruit, box, and nori seaweed. On the palate, those aromatic sulfur compounds are maybe a little intrusive, though the texture and structural balance are admirable 15.5
