Simon Field | A complicated, slightly precocious nose, dried fruit dragged through the hedgerow. The palate is rounded, edgy, with almonds and beeswax adding interest to the edifice. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Full gold in color. Warm, sweet, and creamy aromas; a touch of bubbled sugar, too. Come on in. On the palate, the wine is rich, soft, open, generous, and uncomplicated, with some sinew and sap, with vinosity, with sound acidity... Generous, artless, hugely enjoyable. | 90

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Full yellow color. The nose is warm, ripe, with a cooked peach, lemon inner strength; there is a note of aniseed, too. The palate coasts with smooth content, its expression reserved for now. This is a traditional white Châteauneuf withatannic depth within, just a little coarse as it stands. Allow it at least another year or two, and be ready to decant it. Its thoroughness is appealing, and there is glimpse of freshness on the finish. 2018–27/29. | 89
