BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Very strange stinky nose (reduced?); has a similar rather indescribable taste, with an acidic finish. Disjointed and not a nice drink. 7

Charles Metcalfe: Slightly dank, mossy, rather unappealing character. Better on the palate. Maybe just an element of reduction. Matchstick reduction rather than drains! But it does dominate the wine, not in a pleasant way. Good acidity, but not in a good place at the present. 7

Joanna Simon: Notably pale in color. Intensely, smoky (sulfury reductive) nose. Rich-textured, concentrated palate. Green fruit and mineral flavors. Good wine, slightly flattened by the sulfury note. 16
