BUY THE WINE

Alison Buchanan: Lustrous green-gold in color. Taut and mineral on the nose, with a background of honeyed, floral fruit. Rich pastry-shop/warm brioche notes are echoed on the palate, which is full and ripe with decent acidity to balance. Long, toasted finish. 13

Stephen Brook: Tropical fruit on the nose: mango, ripe peach, with a strong oaky presence, too. Rich, rounded, creamy, voluptuous. A touch heavy-handed, but there is some welcome spice on the finish. Lacks some concentration and essentially bland, but a big mouthful of wine. Moderate length. 13

Oz Clarke: First bottle corked. Second bottle better. Oatmeal and hazelnut nose. Palate mineral, though the oak shows through strongly. It is a little more oaky than I expected, and the oatmeal doesn’t quite leave the Meursault suppleness it promised, but it’s still a good, full, flashy style, well balanced with a little oak perfume and fair acid balance. 15.5
