Stephen Brook: Light gold. Opulent peachy nose, with ample botrytis and some honeyed tones developing. Fresh and suave attack; moderately concentrated but has good intensity of flavor: apricots, pineapple, and tropical fruit. It may lack some weight, but the balance is attractive, with vibrancy and freshness and a light nutty finish that is probably oak-derived. Good length. 16.5
Margaret Rand: An understated wine, with a very good finish. Still quite tight on the palate, with a lot more to give; the finish is very long indeed. There’s a lot of concentration here and a slight touch of alcohol. 17
Michael Schuster: Mature orange-gold; honeyed, lightly marmaladey nose; very sweet, supple wine—moderate acidity behind the sugar, moderate complexity; notice the alcohol slightly, good light length. Ready. Now to 2015+. 16
