Essi Avellan: Oxidative, dull nose. Bruised apple and toffee. Big plump palate with a sweet finish. 80

Anthony Rose: Still youthfully pale in color, this is showing some evolved toffee-apple and light toasty notes on the nose, following through on the palate with goût anglais notes of toffee and just starting to evolve in texture into almost a winey dry white with a tangy dry finish; just a tad overevolved. 84

Tom Stevenson: Not as bad as it sounds, but the fruit catches at the back of the throat, and a touch of oxidation pervades the nose through to the finish. 76
