BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Deep straw/gold. Very developed for a 2011. Too oaky, too bitter, too developed. This really shouldn’t be showing this much age so young 13.5

Nicolas Belfrage: 1 = color of water and 9 = deep gold: Col 4. Nutty, slightly herby nose. Excessively dry on the palate; quite weighty but without redeeming flavor. I wouldn’t drink it 10

Alex Hunt: A heady sort of peach-schnapps aroma. The palate, too, feels more like an infusion of spirit and fruit than a properly centered wine. It is tannic, pretty mature for a 2011, and rather an effort to drink 14
