Andrew Jefford | Pale to full silver-gold. It’s both spicy and floral, yet there is a lovely fleshy fattiness here that draws you ineluctably in. An attractive aromatic profile, though no notable fruit and not much complexity yet. Almost a roastiness here. In the mouth, it’s vivid, rich, full, and generous, with lots of almost primary fruit dressed gratifyingly in spicy honey. Very generous and hugely enjoyable; the spices carry and lift what might almost otherwise be simple if exuberant fruits. | 91

Charles Metcalfe | Quite closed at present, with a little litchi escaping and a hint of lemon. Gentle litchi and barley-sugar flavors, with sweetness just about balanced by the acidity. It’s young and may develop further but is in a rather ungainly moment now. | 86

Jancis Robinson | Mid-straw. A little sugary on the nose. Some Gewurz pungency on the palate. Medium intensity and clean and fresh enough. But a difficult wine to fit into drinking plans, with its medium-sweet dimension. Impressive length, however. Drink 2017–21. | 89
