Andrew Jefford | Bright mid-gold. A lovely scent: billowing jasmine and ginger cream, but there’s a freshness and poise and precision to this that is very winning. Very hard not to sip if you’ve just smelled this. Splendid wine on the palate, too: deft, creamy, and long, and with so much scented jasmine in here you might almost imagine it contained 30 percent Viognier. That superb aromatic profile helps it carry its sugars with great grace and lift. A complete charmer. Leaves the mouth fresh and clean—and keen for the next sip.| 92
Charles Metcalfe | Light, floral, rose-petal aroma. This seems quite simple, but in a very attractive, appealingly floral way. Acidity is fresh and buoyant, the flavor is floral and appealing, and the sweetness is beautifully balanced. Probably not a wine to shut away in the cellar but instead to enjoy soon. | 91
Jancis Robinson | Deep gold. Savory and pungent. Exciting and sleek, with the sweetness a minor ingredient. Rich but not sweet. Great satin texture. Very clean and fresh. Drink 2016– 23. | 93
