BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Mid-lemon straw. Pleasant, musky, honeysuckle notes. Palate rather sweet and oaky, possibly with a hint of botrytis, but this would appeal to many punters. Very rich, soft, tinned-peach fruit, with sweet oak - 15.5

Stephen Brook: Weird nose, quite vegetal. Mediumbodied, supple, rounded, forward, and even evolved, with a soft core of fruit and some light acidity to refresh the finish. But it lacks complexity and energy, and the wine doesn’t seem to have much future. Medium length, with a toasty finish - 14

Alex Hunt: On the closed side at present, you feel, but an impressive mixture of citrus, apricot, and savory notes. Youthful and energetic on the palate, despite the richness of the peach/apricot notes. The finish is a little short at present. Some more time in bottle should benefit this - 16
