BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium depth, with slight turn on the rim. Dark cherry, herb, and lanolin coming through on the nose. Quite succulent, easygoing fruit on the mid-palate, it finishes a bit short but turns out to be quite moreish thanks to a friendly balance between fruit and acidity. 88

Bruno Besa: Garnet to pink. Youthful red-fruit character, clean and inviting, with defined minerality and mint-like elegance. Medium body with good tannic grip and very clean fruit. A touch too fruitdriven at present, but I’m sure that the complexity will eventually come out. 90

Andrew Jefford: Clear, deep black-red. A sweetness and an airy quality to the aromas—a warm dry wind blowing over a field of strawberries. Softness, grace, and charm on the palate, with lots more of that sweet, strawberry-like fruit, but plenty of dignifying tannin, too, and vivid, ripe acidity. Delicious wine. 86
