Jamie Goode | Quite deep in color, this has a rich, nutty, slightly oily limey nose. Distinctive palate with good acidity, some nuttiness, a touch of wax and some spice. Combines richness and freshness with real character, and linear citrus and pear fruit withatwist of nectarine. Such intensity, but avoids being heavy or clumsy. | 89

Peter Richards | Fairly deep lemon gold hue, with fine CO2 evident. Initially it seems fairly evolved, with notes of paper and warm earth. Baked cream, too. Succulent, rich attack, with ripe apple and pear fruit. Rich and succulent, very winning style, mouth-coating with tons of ripe fruit. Pleasantly integrated spice. It’s big, almost exponential, on the palate, with fairly rich texture (a touch of RS?) Maybe some botrytis in the mix. Either way, this is a winning style in the context of a rich, heart-warming white. Hard not to like it. Very well grounded as well as being big. Love this! | 93

David Williams | Chenin-like “apples in the store” notes on the nose and palate, and a touch of honey, too, and then carried off with a nice, bright and tangy spine of acidity. A good effort with a grape variety that should surely be more widely planted. | 91
