Andrew Jefford | Pale steel-gold. There’s a sense of aromatic richness here, almost a butteriness, combined with gentle, low-focus floral notes. Soft, sweet, quietly attractive: buttered pain d’epices. Not notably concentrated, yet very easy and supple to drink. | 86

Charles Metcalfe | Dark, exotic aromas, with rose petal, toast, and Turkish delight predominant. The palate has a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity, and some development of flavor. This is lively and fresh and is evolving well, with buttery, barley- sugar length and good freshness. | 89

Jancis Robinson | Pale yellowish straw. Hardly any nose. The sugar rather obtrudes. And then so does the alcohol on the end. Rather an unbalanced wine— too old? Drink 2012–16. | 84
