BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. Warm and sweet, but rather unrelieved. Interesting tannins, but everything else in this wine is a little uneventful, and the diagnostic freshness of the vintage has slipped over the hill. Nonetheless, it has weight and richness and would make good mid-term drinking. 2018–24. 90
