BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Developed, some garnet at rim. Tired, very tired nose, hard to spot any fruit here. Bit of tomato skin, quite jammy, touch of oak, but the fruit has faded. Hard to spot the variety. Some burned rubber and smoke, faded fruit. 7

Gerard Basset: Medium-light ruby. Reasonably pronounced nose. Young black fruit with some Eastern spices. Lean and tight, slightly burning feel, black fruit; medium finish. 13

Anthony Rose: Tired and overevolved to the point of oxidation; leafy dry fruit that’s overevolved and going nowhere fast. 11
