BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Deep red-black in color. Ripe, spicy, and sweet, but with a perfumed citrus-blossom note, too. Deep and concentrated, with plenty of appleplum fruit, and masterful, searching, slightly raw acidity. Faintly tart finish. 2018–22. 86

Michael Schuster: Light, gravelly nose; medium-full, crisp in acidity, lightly tannic; fresh, red fruit in flavor, on the leaner side, modest scope and length. Probably best drunk young while the sweet primary fruit is fresh and vibrant. 2018–25. 86
