Jamie Goode | This wine is bright and quite delicate. There’s some oak here, offering some richer vanilla and subtle cedary notes, but also lovely brightness and poise to the fruit. It finishes quite nutty and oaky, but there’s a degree of integration here, and the fruit is really fine and expressive. Has the potential for mid-term development. | 89

Peter Richards | Buttery, creamy nose. A touch of orange- rind complexity. Bright, bubbly, e usive style. Ambitious, too, in its extravagant use of oak. Hint of anis. Creamy, lactic flavors dominate on the palate. Some good appley intensity but the fruit just falls short. I’d like to see less overt oak character, and more savory intensity to match the fruit. Some good elements but overdone. A little short. | 85

David Williams | Tropical fruit and banana creaminess, a touch of fudgy to ee and buttery oak but decent freshness and length and some supporting acidity. | 85
