Simon Field | Bright light gold color, fresh youthful aromas of the orchard; the palate has energy and nutty complexity. Honeysuckle and verbena, opening up all the time in the glass... A hint of bitterness on the finish is a virtue in this instance, underwriting potential. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Gently sweet and warm; grainy dough and soft pressed seeds. Warm and spicy, but no particular floral grace. Spicy and concentrated, but some tasters may find this a little alcoholically overassertive. Once your mucous membranes have come to terms with that, this is a lush, generous white Châteauneuf with real complexity and charm. The aromas begin to lift with time in the glass. | 91

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Shiny yellow. The nose expresses warm, viscous airs with a stewed fruits, compote style. There is a latent oiliness, and the vintage heat is present. The palate is savory, wrapped together in rich bundle of dried fruits, white plums, showing some tannic assertion as it closes. It finishes on the quiet side. Very much a table wine, given its stream of richness, strength. Decanting useful. 2017–27/28. | 87
