Andrew Jefford | Pale, mid-silver-gold. A big buzzy muddle of bee-loud scent: vibrant, autumnal, must-like and generously sweet. Attractive if unpoised and rather simple. This sets the tone for the palate, too. You’d have to enjoy drinking it, and within the sugars there are perfumed depths (thanks to the variety), but it is neither a great vin de terroir nor a great late-harvest incarnation of Gewurz. | 85

Charles Metcalfe | Pale, yellow-gold color. Rich, creamy, opulent, and evolved aromas. Very appealing, with lemon, honey, toast, cream, and spice. It’s sweet but balanced by good acidity. This is lovely, aromatic, and creamy, with this lovely acidity and delightful length. And although delicious now, will probably continue to evolve in bottle. | 94

Jancis Robinson | Deep golden straw. Pungent, interesting nose. Very full-bodied in litchi mode. Lots of fun. Absolutely ready to drink. Great balance and pungent length. Nothing to reproach except perhaps a lack of real complexity. Long and reverberant. Drink 2016–20. | 89
