BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold. Tangy, lush, and full: lots of honeycomb richness here, with just a little pear and rose, but not hugely varietal. Pretty nonetheless, and generous. Big, full, generous, but not at all dense, fine-drawn, fine-grained, or subtle. A simple adventure in sugar. | 85

Charles Metcalfe | Golden color. Honeyed, rich aromas, with a hint of marzipan and a touch of oxidation. This is dominated by the sweetness, which is very high. It’s hard to see how this will develop. It’s all about honey and sweetness at the moment. This is almost too sweet for me, because the other components are overwhelmed. There is creamy, honeyed length, though. | 87

Jancis Robinson | Deep apricot color. Smoky and not much focus. Lots of round sweetness, but not freshness. Drink 2015–18. | 89
