Andrew Jefford: Full gold. Gratifying and rich: lush, mellow, tangy, with lots of custard, butter, hazel, and dripping apricot. A fine Sauternes aroma. Generously sweet, with an almost crystallized fruit richness. The fruit qualities are a little recessive (or in mid-modulation) for the time being, but there is much to enjoy here. Now to 2022. 87
Stephen Brook: Rich stone fruits on the nose, and a dash of pineapple. This has more weight than usual for this property, but it is not heavy or dogged. Indeed, it is concentrated and firm, with a zesty citric bite to give it lift. Moderate acidity and length, but wholesome and balanced. 90
