Andrew Jefford | Clear mid-gold. A soft focus sweet- spiciness, which is typical and attractive, though as you sniff it’s not a showstopper. The thing itself, nonetheless. Juicy, fresh, lively, with an acid balance (which few of its peers at this stage of the tasting have), but a slightly simpler style as well. Straightforward, exuberant, enjoyable, and classical, but not necessarily ambitious. | 88

Charles Metcalfe | A youngster, but with some appealing aromas already apparent. Fresh, litchi and a hint of lemon. The palate is nicely balanced, with good acidity and even a touch of phenols to add an interesting twist. Good now, but will improve with some years in a cellar. | 89

Jancis Robinson | Pale gold. Light and fresh. A green streak but not much intensity of fruity core. A bit simple but not an unpleasant drink—albeit without that much Gewurz character. Good freshness. May develop into something more interesting. Residual sugar exceptionally well covered by pronounced acidity. Drink 2016–19. | 88
