BUY THE WINE

Alex Hunt: This is a fairly oxidative style, with some attractive peachy richness but not a lot of aromatic vigor, and a slightly Sherried edge. The palate is framed by broad, generous fruit and tangy acidity, but it sags in the middle. Amiable wine with typical Tokaji structure, but it misses some of the energy of the best - 15.5

Andrew Jefford: Deep, full gold in color, with burnished glints. Quite autumnal already: the beech woods in fall. Waxy pineapple notes behind; graceful. Full, vivid, graceful, with toothsome acidity and barley-sugar sweetness. There isn’t an electric tension or super-concentration here, but this is a beautifully composed wine, with ample mid-palate creaminess, wonderfully ripe acidity, and a very clean, pristine palate. Pure deliciousness; the mellow season liquefied - 15.5

Mark Savage: Depth, richness, concentration, botrytis, some burned sugar perhaps, a little VA too: It all adds up to a very satisfactory wine. Beautifully made from excellent grapes—all that is missing is an extra thrill of originality and an intensity of character that would lift it to a higher plane - 16
