Alex Hunt: Very tropical-fruity on the nose, with all sorts of mango, guava, and mandarin going on. Soft in the mouth but with decent freshness. It’s simpler than the nose implied, but well made and very Rhôney. 87

Andrew Jefford: Full bright gold. A slight cardboard note— let’s try a second bottle. Bottle 2 also seems very reserved to me, with a little white blossom and white-fleshed fruit. I will give it five minutes. Brighter, fresher fruit at the end of all of that, but rather shy alongside some of its peers. Soft, lively, gentle, honeyed, and pleasing on the palate, but just a little bit irresolute. This is carping—still a lovely glass of relaxed, open-pored white. 80

Peter Liem: While this is a bit closed on the nose, it’s more fragrant on the palate, showing waxy, textured notes of pear, guava, and quince. It remains quite constricted in structure, feeling harmonious yet reticent on the finish. 88
