BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Laser-sharp focus to this wine, with pure lemony fruit dominating. It’s all tight-wound and zipped up at the moment, but the keen acidity is backing up some lovely citrus-fruit intensity. Give this time and it should age beautifully. | 93

Peter Richards | Honeyed aromas, baked cream, some red apple. Fairly tangy and with some okay texture but it’s a bit grainy/gritty and the fruit doesn’t sing. Finishes relatively short. There is some good density on show here, it’s a muscular style, but hence it sits somewhat mid-palate and doesn’t quite follow through on the finish. Less would have been more. | 88

David Williams | Delightful interplay of creaminess and leafy herbiness, with plenty of keen, sprightly, nervy acidity and pithy lime, and a touch of blossom honey that you feel will grow with time. Gastronomic, multi-layered, and delicious. | 93
