Simon Field | Gentle color and intriguing, slightly reticent nose; a prelapsarian wilderness. The palate is clumsy, a little coarse; the reticence betrayed, the intrigue compromised. | 85
Andrew Jefford | Very pale steel gold. Pretty if shy nose: talc, apricot blossom, a hint of jasmine. The palate is more delicate and fresh than many of its peers, with relatively prominent acidity (though very ripe acidity, too) and sinewy drive behind the fresh charm. A contemporary rather than traditional, oxygen-informed style. | 89
John Livingstone-Learmonth | Shiny yellow robe. Lemon and white peach, licorice, and a little acacia blossom mingle on the nose. There is possibly some SO2, sherbet style in the aroma. The palate presents a brief case, has a small orb of gras, then drifts. There is a small spot of citrus on the aftertaste. It’s a bit dull, best suited to la table, fish, poultry. To 2021/22. | 86
