BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Solid deep color to rim. Interesting extracted aromas: fine black fruit and a note of dozing vinosity; fine complete mouthfeel of fruit, ripe tannins, and latent complexities. Real sense of elegant harmony, balance, gras generosity, and length- 17

Andrew Jefford: Saturated black-purple. Warm but a little feral. Lively, rounded, warm, with plenty of herbal complexities, more prominent acidity than many, and some brisk tannins. Satisfactory but unambitious compared to the aromatic complexities and mid-palate wealth of the best. Tasty though relatively simple wine- 13.5

Marcel Orford-Williams: Attractive and fruity. Vibrant and sweet, with tangy freshness. No great complexity but perfectly enjoyable. Drink young and on the cool side- 14
