Stephen Brook | There’s a distinct toastiness on the nose, which has reticent apricot and apple aromas and a general lack of flashiness. In contrast, the palate is opulent and exuberant, with admirable concentration and precise stone-fruits flavors. Splendid tension here, with integrated oak to give texture and fine acidity to maintain the poise. Yet nothing overblown here. Very long and stylish. | 95
Andrew Jefford | Pale and clear in color. Rather restrained aromatically compared to the most articulate of its peers, this is gently honeyed, refined, herbal, fine-grained, teasing, but clean and pristine. Fine and fresh on the palate, with vivid though rounded acidity to resolve and lift the wine’s sweetness. Deliciously mouth-freshening. 2018–26. | 91
