Simon Field: Amber coloring, clean but quite compact on the nose. Palate quite lively and spirity. Plenty of brown sugar and molasses on the palate; satisfying and rounded but lacking a little gravitas at the back perhaps? 15
Richard Mayson: Pale mid-amber tawny. Lovely savory-toasty aromas combined with dried fruit and nuts. Fine, supremely delicate, and perfectly balanced, combining freshness with secondary nutty complexity. Seductive silky length. Near-perfect poise. 18
Margaret Rand: Punchy and big; vibrant, cheerful wine, round and plump. Has complexity too, and a big finish. 16.5
