Andrew Jefford: Deep full yellow -gold, almost buttercup-gold. Vivid scents of moist fruits, almost crushed or macerated fruits. Plenty of free sulphur, too. Full, firm, frank, but rather coarsely assembled; long yet square. A touch of residual at the end, and rather high alcohol that does burn a little in the aftertaste. I like the fruit itself, but I’m looking for a little more nerve at the core and elegance in the handling. 13

Simon Larkin : Much more golden in hue. The aromas here hint at the exotic, almost papaya and lime, quite tangy, though there is some absence of outright purity. Quite weighty in style, with honeyed, cumbersome, tangy citrus and exotic-nuanced fruit. It lacks dim ension and precision. The alcohol is all too evident, as is a distinct lack of charm. Dull and overripe. 10

Alexander Scott: A notably more golden colour, without the usual greenish highlights. Corresponding richness on nose, spicy and intense, almost too much. Clearly great sugar-ripeness in the grapes here. Very fat, a bit monolithic and lacking mineral complexity; some residual sugar here, I guess. The finish is a little clumsy, but this is a wine that many would enjoy, including those who do not think of themselves as Riesling fans. Would go well with a rich duck-liver pate. 13.5
