Stephen Brook: Muted peachy nose. Quite rich, assertive; dominated at present by acidity. Too strident for my taste. At si xes and sevens, and even the finish is aggressive. 11.5

Jancis Robinson: Cool, green-leaf aromas, and marked residual sugar on the front palate, with no great character and tension. Rather jagged components, including marked alcohol on the finish. 13.5

Alexander Scott: Again, a distinct herbaceous, bean-pod note. Competent, ripe and not stretched, but not all that exciting. 14
