BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Ripe black fruits, predominating aromas; fine balanced mouthfeel, harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, high quality of pure fruit, especially; well-integrated elegant tannins. Vin fin- 17

Andrew Jefford: Saturated black-purple. Expansive, open, lots of charm here, with vivacity and richness of blackcurrant fruit and a herbal sweetness too. Poised, pure, and long. A very winning aromatic spectrum. Sweet, soft, almost disarmingly drinkable, yet there’s also aromatic power and persistence behind the wine, driving it through the palate toward a lingering finish. Lots of red and black fruit balanced by tannins that seem deliciously saturated in the licoriceroot and juniper-root austerities of the place; soft but supportive acidity. Great overall harmony- 16

Marcel Orford-Williams: Lovely fruit on the nose. Sweet, a little jammy, but good jam of the homemade variety. Damsons, plums with a touch of spice. Succulent, full, but quite refreshing. I like it. Sausages and mash. Finishes a little short, but no matter- 16
