Simon Field | A forthcoming fruity nose, peach stone and apricot, behind that white pepper and a whisper from the boudoir... The indulgent expectation is bathroom mirrored on the palate, which is rounded, alcoholic, and far from subtle. There is, however, a place for wines like this. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Full yellow. Very attractive aromas: lifted, sweet, graceful, and warm, with lots of summer fruit napped with honey. Seamless and rounded aromas. On the palate, the wine is fresh yet warm, vivid yet rich, and again very seamless and rounded, with lots of honey and toasted almond on the finish. It’s very ripe and low in acidity, yet the nobility of the soils keeps it vital and vigorous. An excellent glass of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape. | 91

John Livingstone-Learmonth | fine yellow robe. Caramel and vanilla lead the nose, so this is a wine still on its raising. There is an air of white raisin and tobacco in behind. It’s a little low on elegance. The palate gives a brief richness and is dumb, short on flair but also potential, I fear. It seems turned in on itself. Modest fare. To 2021/22. | 84
