Tim Atkin: Medium straw, with some golden highlights. Rich, oak, and tangerinelike nose, with some buttery notes. Medium- to full-bodied style, with fresh acidity and well-integrated oak. The finish is surprisingly perky, despite the high alcohol. Lots of flavor here, with notes of spice and quince - 16.5

Stephen Brook: Fairly rich apple-and-apricot nose with a touch of oak. Spicy and angular attack, and distinctly assertive. It has a greenness not apparent on the nose and an eye-watering acidity that many will find unacceptably strident. There simply isn’t enough fruit and fat here to balance the wine - 13

Alex Hunt: First impression is of breadth and very ripe fruit, though not tropical—more the result of picking later in a cooler climate. There is some citrus core lending brightness, but also a slight acetone note. The palate is taut and linear given the ripeness involved, but the acid does stick out, giving a hard edge at the expense of nuance - 15
