BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Steel white. Very attractively fresh, cleanly spicy scents: invigorating and enticing. Lots of lift. On the palate, this is a little more richly spicy than that fresh nose led one to expect. There’s some sweetness, and it has a mouth-coating texture with plenty of glycerol, yet the freshness of style returns at the finish and makes it a very clean, pungent, and classic example. | 90

Charles Metcalfe | A hint of something slightly rummy on the nose. It could be a touch of rather dominant oak barrel. It’s young and rather raw at present but has good acidity, balanced sweetness, and some pleasantly candied aromatics lurking. Difficult to judge now, but does have adequate length, with some barley-sugar and litchi eventually appearing. | 86

Jancis Robinson | Pale greenish straw. Fresh, light, and floral but without strong Gewurz character on the nose. Sweet start and quite juicy and agreeable with sugar/acid ratio satisfactory. Fairly long. Neat and unshowy. Refreshing. May develop into something even more impressive. Drink 2017–21. | 88
