BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | A big, far from enigmatic nose of fruit salad and vanillin. The color is a little cloudy. Youthful and incomplete, the wine does not lack for potential. I would love to see a finished sample of this wine, as the qualitative indicators are all there, albeit blurred by time’s youthful haze. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold. Rich and just very slightly strange aromas: seeds and vanilla-honey yoghurt. Finished? Attractive nonetheless. Rich, vivid, concentrated, and artless: a frank and straightforward effort to grab attention, which it does. Concentrated, commanding, and long. Will time engrave in the subtleties? Perhaps it will. It will certainly last... Fine raw materials here. | 91

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Slightly cloudy yellow robe. The nose has a baked, toasted lead, with a buttress of solid cooked fruit lying beyond. There are hints of aniseed, the outdoors of Provence. The palate starts on cooked fruits, a stone-fruit tang about them; this is unfinished business in the glass, but the portents are good. There is attractive and stylish freshness to bring it to a close. 2019–28/31. | 90
