Stephen Brook | With its delicately botrytized stone-fruits aromas, this is elegant and charming. It’s no heavyweight, but the silky texture and precise acidity are entirely convincing, making this a very good wine in its own terms. It may not have the heft, concentration, and complexity of the grand vin, but it’s balanced and seductive and accessible. Quite long. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Deep honeyed gold. Some menthol and lemon verbena freshness in among the dripping honey and dried peach here. Weighty, full, rich, with the lemon verbena and lemon grass perfuming the weighty, lush, profoundly honeyed fruits. Great generosity and extravagance for a second wine. 2018–23. | 89
