BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage | Very pale ramato, effectively “blush.” Floral nose but not striking, a bit laid back. Dry, with refreshing acidity; a certain vegetal note on the palate, and a hint of bitterness on the finish. Shortish. | 86

Bruno Besa | Pale onion skin to orange. Restrained, intense, with small red fruits, orange peel, hints of flint and toasted nuts. Intense, balanced, layered pomegranate and cranberry palate. Long, with an intense, muscular finish. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Very pale salmon-pink. Light, fresh, but relatively fruit-neutral scents. On the palate, there is a little more fruit, grape and apple, and some creaminess. Enjoyable and gratifying, but without the purity and depth of fruit of the very best. | 87
