BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Deep, striking intense color; a seamless integration of mint, eucalyptus, and something more grown-up on the nose; fine acidity, fine tannins; needs food, but excellent- 17.5

Andrew Jefford: Saturated dark black-red. Softly sweet, gently herbal licorice, celery; attractive, but muddled and fading now, losing its precision. Hard and empty; dismal wine, alas, with a bitter-acid edge at the finish- 7

Marcel Orford-Williams: Fabulous fruit. On the ball. Fruity, structured, balanced, and long. Delicious- 17
