Jamie Goode | This is already full of interest. There’s a table-grape and lime-jelly fruitiness, but also a nice citrus drive, along with some mineral, salty characters. Has prettiness but also seriousness, with a long, lemony finish and nice acidity. Lovely stuff. | 91
Peter Richards | Some depth to the hue. Orange-marmalade and ginger-biscuit aromas. Some grape jam, too. Fairly abrupt. Some decent grip and oxidative complexity but it’s relatively limited. Dry. Decent but fairly old now, so the fruit is fading. Has good phenolic grip and acidity, though, and isn’t just a fruit bomb, so there is some appeal here. Relatively limited ultimately, though. | 86
David Williams | Wonderfully complex and engaging Muscat, showing an old-vine intensity and depth of flavor, with evocative notes of mint, fennel, and custard apple, there’s a hint of chew to the texture and a salty-mineral character that keeps the mouth alert. Excellent, funky-artisan modern winemaking. | 93
