Overview

Simon Field | Russet, bricky, a sinewy grip holding firm to the side of the glass, for all the translucence of the swatch. The aromatic is foursquare, rather clumsy, self-important, rushed. The matrix of the palate is dominated by uncompromising acidity and hard, unforgiving tannins, the fruit not in itself lacking but somewhat compromised by the rigorous imperative of these domineering forces. | 88 SF | Russet, bricky, a sinewy grip holding firm to the side of the glass, for all the translucence of the swatch.
