Overview

Alison Buchanan: Pale yellow–gold, this is extremely pungent on the nose with elements of honey and acacia and some toasted elements. The palate is rich and leesy, full and ripe. There is decent focus and direction. Well–made with everything in position, I suspect this needs a little time to pull together. 16

Alex Hunt: Old–fashioned mineral nose, attributable to a hefty dose of sulfur. Stodgy texture, straightforward green flavor. Not much fun or elegance here. 11

Andrew Jefford: Pale gold. Moist, must–like fruits; lacks finesse. Simple, crude. 8
