BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook: Sweet but lean nose, stylish, not overblown, distinct minerality. Sweet but silky, not that concentrated, but very pretty and appealing. A touch of mint and the merest hint of alcohol on the finish. Some complexity and a lively finish; quite good length. 16.5

Andrew Jefford: Pale gold; very pretty spectrum of summer orchard fruits, with sweet peach and apricot, nectarine and grape, and even a little almond complexity, all dancing out of the glass. Lovely intensity here: magnificent fruits yet again, with strawberry being added to the mix described above - a fruit cup. Wealth of fruits makes this a fleshy, hedonistic mouthful with great presence and charm. Excellent. 16.5

Jancis Robinson: Definite green tinge. Opulent, broad spread of ripe aromas. Yellow peach. A little bit mean and pinched on the palate. Definite astringence. This may get there but is ungainly at the moment. The mark denotes current showing but may be unfairly low. Drink 2009-17. 15.5
