Andrew Jefford | Silver green-gold. An attractive, well-crafted aroma, which combines a soft, gentle spiciness with a quiet vegetal feltiness; perhaps a little rose in the background, but none of the really obvious triggers are to the fore. Singular but pleasant. On the palate, the 20g/l shows prominently: It’s very salty-creamy and lush but lacks a fruit core and supporting sap or spice. I’d enjoy drinking it but have to admit it is on the torpid side, though the aromatics are very interesting and in some ways compelling. And it doesn’t lack concentration, either. | 86

Charles Metcalfe | Dark, scented rose-petal aroma. Seems good for a young wine. This is opulent, restrained, and looks to have a good future. Flavors are appropriately exotic, the balance of acidity, sweetness, and alcohol is well judged, and there’s good, exotic, perfumed length. I’d leave this a couple of years. | 91

Jancis Robinson | Pale straw. Very cool, low-key nose. Sweetness dominates the front palate, but there is perceptible varietal character of a litchi variety. Neat and refreshing, though embryonic. Fades a little on the finish. Drink 2017–21. | 87
