Alex Hunt: This slightly cloudy (presumably unfiltered) wine has appealing aromas of peach and rose petals, though it’s so soft aromatically there is a resemblance to face cream. The palate is well tuned, structurally, with just enough acidity and no sign of rapid evolution. Flavor-wise, it’s just a bit pappy, all layered in shades of white. 86
Andrew Jefford: Luscious glowing mid-gold. Sweet, warm, soft, full—the summer afternoon, summarized. Seeds, honey, peaches. Full and cross-hatched with those summer fruits; some textural depth; and the complexity and discretion promised by the blend. An excellent effort; you can almost hear the bees buzzing. 92
Peter Liem: This is subtle and nuanced in aroma, needing some time in the glass to emerge. It’s supple and graceful in texture, balancing all of its components well, and it persists with long, quiet length. 90
