Andrew Jefford | Deep, glowing though translucent scarlet black-red. Cedary, warm, and serene, already at ease with itself: harmonious and expressive. Ample curranty depths in straightforward style. Smooth, light, gathered, and tangy: a cascade of straightforward blackcurrant fruits, teased to ripeness and just over the green hill, though with little weight or substance behind. Refreshing wine for the short term. | 86

Michael Schuster | Lightly fragrant, and gravel-tinged to smell; light, crisp, gentle in tannin; light, slightly lean, wine, withatouch of herbaceousness behind the redcurrant fruit here. Not unpleasant, though, because there is clear ripe fruit, too, but I think you have like a bit of fresh edginess as well— which many do. 2022–26. | 85
