BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Full gold. Rather herbaceous aromas: lots of vegetable and hedgerow. On the palate, this is a hard and rather varnishy wine, which I would struggle to drink, I’m afraid. 77

Andreas Larsson: Very aromatic and green nose, not in a negative way but combining the bell pepper, kiwi, herbs, and green apple. The palate appears slightly cooler, with a youthful acidity; some bitter/phenolic notes like celery and fennel, with a medium long, herbal finish. 82
