Jamie Goode | Delicate honey and toast notes complement the citrus and white-peach fruitiness on the nose. Quite enticing. The palate has harmonious pear and white-peach fruit, with a lemony undercurrent and very subtle toasty oak hints. Shows real delicacy and precision. | 92
Peter Richards | Very lactic and popcorn nose initially. Toasty nuts emerge in the glass. Good fresh acidity and minerality sustains what is a very complex palate. It could use a little more tautness and focus of fruit at its heart, as it seems quite developed and the oak/lactic/leesy character is very prominent. But there is some fine nuance. Lots that is impressive here, even if it doesn’t quite come together in the final reckoning. | 91
David Williams | Exceptionally refined Chardonnay from the very top drawer, this is so articulate and fluent, and with its river-bed mineral-inflected raciness and elegant, needle-flashes-in-sunlight, filigree acidity. Racy, structured, graceful, long. | 94
