BUY THE WINE

Alison Buchanan: This is amazing on the nose, focused and alert, bright and intriguing – a wine lover’s wine that needs some thought. It’s the vibrant character that holds things together…in spades. A delight, for now. 14.5

Alex Hunt: Exaggerated plum/blackcurrant aromas – almost jammy. Losing focus and form; past its best. 11)

Andrew Jefford: Mid gold. Sweet yet somehow beery, too: Sauvignon does odd things when it gets old. Viciously acidic now, with nothing much to redeem it. 7
