Simon Field | Slightly foursquare, a little metallic and dissonant, the acidity holding court with a somewhat severe grip. The apples are bruised and the harvest supper finished some time ago. | 85
Andrew Jefford | Very dark black-red. Sweet, fresh, and spicy: some oaking here, but it has been relatively successfully done for me. Grainy, warm, and enticing. Well-made wine on the palate, with some modest resonance of fruit, though its rather watery style suggests it would be best drunk soon. Enjoyable and just about complete if so. | 84
Charles Metcalfe | Light, elegant, savory aromas. This is evolved, but pleasantly so, with tannins present but not overwhelming, and gently fruity flavors. Pleasant wine from a lighter year, and a gently savory finish. Drink soon. | 87
