Michael Edwards: Softer and a bit more expressive than [Pierre Gimonnet Special Club Premier Cru Chardonnay 2005], with a yeasty autolytic touch 15.5

Simon Field: Honeysuckle and lemongrass; oak-oil and an 8th arrondissement patisserie on a warm afternoon; a cornucopia of potential in various stages of realization; viscosity and enigmatic weave; a feast of indulgence 17

Tom Stevenson: Oak-fermented and gunpowder aromas, with peaches on the palate. What a combination! This is either something special that needs time in bottle or a total disaster, and I’m leaning toward the former 18
