Simon Field | Fruits of a very different harvest, this example disappoints a little, its awkward structure inclined to early oxidation and unresolved tensions, which appear to have become more rather than less prominent. | 85

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Rather dry, reserved, sulfur-snipped aromas. Dry, taut, and inarticulate on the palate, too. It’s concentrated and has prominent acidity and is a serious wine nonetheless. | 86

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Firm yellow robe. Smoke and elderberry combine on the front nose, with melba toast over roasted nuts. It’s slightly dumb and backing off its first flush of youth. The palate is lined with dried fruits, a savory quality emerging as it goes. There is a compressed juice in its late moments. This is shutting down now, so leave it for at least a year. 2018–27/29. | 88
