Alex Hunt: Rather flat and honeyed, with low acid and a hot finish, this wine has tipped gently into overripeness. 81

Andrew Jefford: Pale to mid-gold. Grapey, vinous, firm, and fresh, with sweet and sappy though softly defined fruits. A little hazel, too. Impressionist but pleasing aromas. There is also, to be fair, a touch of reduction. Soft palate, but almost to excess, with a slightly gluey style. True to the Rhône ideal but could be a little clearer and more limpid. 84

Peter Liem: This feels reductive and restrained: could its screwcap be contributing to this? It’s floral and citrusy on the palate, and it feels like it has a hidden depth that’s waiting to emerge with time. It’s supple in texture and elegant in tone, and it finishes with long, subtle length. 89
