BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Clear mid-gold. Pineapple and creamy mango scents. Quite a tropical-fruit style here; a dusty note; a touch fudgy. Lots to like, but less pristine and fine than some of its peers. Juicy, round, soft, full and gratifying—more mango fruit and some orange citrus, too, lent dignity by its spice. Generously contoured and unmistakable, but lacks a little inner nerve and sinew. | 88

Charles Metcalfe | Open, floral, exotic, and evolved, with litchi and barley-sugar aromas. Very appealing. This tastes ready to enjoy, with attractive, litchi fruit flavor, lovely fresh acidity, and an open, inviting character. Lovely now; maybe not to keep. | 90

Jancis Robinson | Deep coppery straw. Subtle, savory, appetizing Gewurz notes on the nose. Racy, energetic wine that soars above its RS level. Really very accomplished and superior. The overwhelming impression is of Gewurz flavor not sweetness. This wine shows how it’s done—with light bitterness on the end. Drink 2015–22. | 92
