Simon Field | Bottle 1: Oaky style, ludic, tutti-frutti, mandarin, gorse, and a lot of grippy unresolved character. Bottle 2: Less oxidative than the first example, but it still fails to give pleasure. | 81

Andrew Jefford | Clear mid-gold. Bottle 1: Some oxidation. Bottle 2: Mealy, seedy, almost Vermentino-like, but with an oddly sharp flavor profile. Bags of acidity but little aromatic richness. Not a huge success amid so many outstanding wines. | 80

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Yellow robe. The nose is rather fuzzy, on stewed fruits without great definition. It’s rather limp as a start. The palate holds a white-fruits content, with tannin lining, as if the pressing pre-fermentation could have been softer. It lacks a real HQ, a settled center, and fails to inspire on the second half. 2019. | 81
