BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Full light gold. Soft and sweet. Back lacks a little aromatic finesse and detail, though it has a jasmine/litchi charm and is wholly typical. Gathered, gingery, zesty, deep, rich, and luscious, on the palate this wine is a concentrated tour de force of aromatic succulence. Great harmony and completeness, too. Estimable and rewarding, and great classicism, too, all in all. | 92

Charles Metcalfe | Not a great deal showing at present, except a whiff of alcohol. It’s young and unformed as yet, with good acidity and a creamy note to the texture. But it’s really closed, not showing much, even on the finish. And the end is a shade hot. Not my favorite here, though not bad. | 83

Jancis Robinson | Edgy, high-toned nose, with masses of sweetness (low acid?) and some floral notes. Very intense and showy. Like a bouquet of carnations in its showiness. Precocious. Drink 2017–20. | 88
