BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Lovely savory, biscuity fruit on the nose, verging on subtropical weight with apples and pears and a hint of pineapple toward the finish. Nicely integrated and very well balanced, linear with a lovely, mouthwatering finish. 16.5

Charles Metcalfe: Ripe, greengagey, quite opulent fruit aromas. Seems unoaked, but has real richness and intensity, with Rainha Claudia plum notes and sizzling acidity. Really characterful wine, bracing and with good length. 16

Joanna Simon: Very aromatic with gunflint, woodsmoke, green apple, and sweet pear, suppleness of texture and a touch of RS underpinned by steely acidity. Concentrated and long. 17
