Jamie Goode | A rich nose of mandarin, orange peel, and whisky leads to a bold, zippy palate showing keen lemon and grapefruit with a hint of marmalade, and a bitter, pithy finish. This is intense. Difficult to drink and a bit unbalanced. | 84

Peter Richards | Some depth to the hue. Intriguing aromas. Somewhat dusty initially but then it opens up with aromas of roasted red apple, woodsmoke, furniture polish, and yeasty/bready tones. Rich, generous attack, with a vibrant acidity underscoring it. Real minerality and grip, some tannins, too. An eclectic blend but an intriguing wine with lots to recommend it. Will age well. Has shades of Jura or flat Champagne to it— structured, urgent, complex, savory, long. And real character here, too. You really want to keep drinking, but also to stash a few away in the cellar to see where it goes. And put it with all kinds of food. Cheese gougères?! Oh yum. Lovely wine. | 94

David Williams | An intriguing blend and approach that works beautifully in a wine that starts with savory almond-nuttiness, crisp red apple and just-ripe berries and which has a dynamic feel on the palate, with a sudden undertow-pull when its vivacious fresh acidity kicks in. Evolving, luminous, delightful. | 93
