Simon Field | Floral notes and hints of straw; gentle and unassuming; rather more confident on the palate, citric energy and ornate robust upholstery. Grenache is seldom overly demonstrative, but this is a nicely balanced example, the minor shareholders adding zest and spice, albeit with deferential discretion. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Pale and steely. Rather tight, controlled aromas; just a hint of white hedgerow flower. Taut and tight on the palate, too, but the whack of Grenache gives it a sappiness and a fullness, too. Good stuff, if not the most articulate wine on the table, and fish-friendly. | 89

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Clear yellow robe. Has a quiet nose, an implication of white plum fruit, a hint of smokiness. It is set up more for apéritif and light dishes than for the main event à table. The palate is tame beside its peers, gives a brief offer of white fruits, a note of white strawberry. The finish lacks brightness and true depth, drifts. To 2019/20. | 83
