BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Pale ruby to pink. Clean, mineral, small-red-fruits nose. Elegant, with chalk, red currants, dried herbs, and rose water. Medium body, with mature red cherries, refined tannins, and a long, clean finish. Youthful and very well made. Needs time. | 93

Andrew Jefford | Clear, light, and translucent. Dry, slightly ungiving aromas; generalized light red fruits in sweet soprano style. The palate corresponds: somewhat bright and tart, though drinkable. | 82

Michael Palij | There is lovely depth of flavor to this wine, which shows orange peel, hay, tinned strawberries, black cherry, and tomato leaf. Although there is no escaping the tannins, there is vibrant acidity and lively fruit that, together, tame the alcohol and make this a satisfying red notwithstanding the ABV. | 92
