Stephen Brook | Up-front lime nose. Rich and broad, this is packed with fruit and almost seems too lavish at first, but the extract and salinity soon kick in and enliven the mid-palate. There’s nothing shy about this forthright and fruity style yet the balance here seems admirable. It’s harmonious and long. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Relatively simple (and faintly oxidative) aromas by comparison with the best of its peers, with some crushed-seed sweetness. Enticing nonetheless. A warmer site, perhaps? The flavors deliver on what the aromas promised: a rather soft-contoured wine in the context of this tasting, but very true to its appellation nonetheless, and with much to enjoy in the drinking. | 86

Stephan Reinhardt | The nose is very intense and concentrated, while the palate is rich and powerful, with firm tannins that are still drying out the palate a bit. Too powerful for my taste. | 89
