BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | This has lovely richness to it. There’s some fig and toast depth, with a core of pear and citrus fruit. Fine hints of green weave in and out of the toasty richness, and there’s a long, warm finish here. A bold, rich wine made in a more ageworthy style, drinking very well now. | 90

Peter Richards | Seriously expressive, attention-grabbing nose. Roasted tangerine rind, freshly ground cashew nuts, and fresh cream. Ambitious, complex, savory style of oaked Sauvignon. Dense, tense, complex. Rich but grounded, with a freshness and mineral core. It’s fairly big on the finish, alcohol notable, but the generous structure sustains it. Well-integrated, complex, individual. Fabulous. | 95

David Williams | Creamy, weighty, and full, this doesn’t have quite the energy that has been such a feature elsewhere in this tasting; there’s a duskiness to the fruit, a slight flatness. | 85
