Tim Atkin: Pale lemon/straw. Subtle, lightly spicy, fresh, sweet vanilla oak, with some ginger and cinnamon and a citrus-fruit backbone. Light, elegant; good length and freshness. Not overblown. But a little short of real complexity - 16.5
Stephen Brook: Lush stone-fruits nose, with some stylish oak. Rich and succulent, with ample concentration of fruit and fine balancing acidity that enlivens the palate. This has a mouthwatering mineral quality without being excessive. Zesty and long - 17
Alex Hunt: An interesting aromatic combination of honeyed evolution and struck-match brightness. Good, bright, mealy notes on the palate, though a little more fruit and a little less toffee would make it altogether a more dynamic mouthful - 15
