BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Clean and fresh. Residual sugar hits straightaway. Some viscosity and breadth, with good acidity; not exciting but good of its type. Medium length, classic, but at the same time a little one-dimensional. Nice balancing acidity-14

Marcel Orford-Williams: Not much on the nose. Full flavor and pretty sweet. Finish is good, showing some character and density, but the question has to be asked: Why? When and with what do you drink this? -15

Joanna Simon: Pale and bright. Fresh, lively, perfumed nose. Sweet, honeyed palate. Precise, sweet, tropical, spicy fruit. Medium-bodied, medium-sweet, lowish acid, but quite long and pure-14.5
