BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: A light full gold. This is pretty, light, and candied, with a soft and subtle banana-vanilla sweetness. Elegant but tenuous, without a lot of intrinsic balance to it, and with modest richness, texture, and drive. Perhaps good value for the short term. 2018–21. 84

Michael Schuster: Light oak and honey on the nose; sweet, fresh, simple, pleasing; little aromatic complexity, but a pleasing lighter style of Sauternes. 86
