Stephen Brook: Discreet peach-and-mango nose. Sumptuous fruit, broad and fleshy, very ripe without being overtly sweet, and velvety in texture. Perhaps there should be rather more acidity here, but the fruit quality is so lush and appealing that it’s churlish to object. Only moderate in length, yet I like this more than my stylistic dictates would normally permit! 15.5
Simon Larkin: There is a touch of Riesling-like restraint here on both nose and palate. The nose shows a more evident minerality, slaty/stony in style, with restrained fruit nuances. The palate is taut, with slaty mineral qualities and crisp, juicy, green fruit. This is a cool example, no overripe headiness here, tight lines, plenty of focus, and decent zip. The finish is long and elegant, showing fine purity. 14
Andreas Larsson: Another grapey and musky example; floral, with some spiciness on the palate.Moderate acidity and a rather heady finish—not impeccably balanced right now. 12
