Stephen Brook: Medium straw. Rich, juicy, peachy nose, packed with fruit and little sign of age. Rich but slightly dour, drab; hard to find the fruit that’s so evident on the nose. Lacks concentration, finishes flat; may be a poor bottle? Fairly short. 12

Simon Field: Textured and rich with hints of rancio. A disciplined and expressive example: alcohol evident but not overpowering, and permitting honest and articulate expression to both variety and vintage. 16
