BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Pale steel-green. Some quiet apple fruit, a little bit of stalk. Lively, though not as seductive as most, perhaps. Apples, apricots, tangerines, in sweet style and dressed with spice and nougatine richness. Actually very good in the mouth—and better than the aromatic profile suggested. | 88

Charles Metcalfe | Pleasant floral aromas, mainly rose. Light and refreshing, with a darker undertone of toast and highish acidity. There’s almost a burned hint to this that slightly jars. It’s light, with no great length, and not going very far. | 79

Jancis Robinson | Smoky/wet woolly nose. Sulfides in ascendant? Low acid and a little sickly. A powder puff of a wine—insubstantial and talcy. Drink 2016–18. | 87
