Tim Atkin: Pale straw/lemon. Pleasant stone-fruit aromas, with some oak. Palate a little sweet and simple, with some reduction, but there’s plenty of flavor here. Toffee, fudge, sweet oak, decent acid. A crowd-pleaser - 15.5

Stephen Brook: Oily waxy nose, with the oak too dominant alongside a light herbaceous tone. Rich, full-bodied, and creamy, with some depth of fruit, but it seems quite evolved, and the acidity is fairly low. So it lacks persistence and finesse. Solid but unexciting. Medium length - 14

Alex Hunt: Simple if appealing nose of overripe peach. Definite surmaturité on the palate, with a sense of sweetness, influence of skins, and high alcohol on the finish. Little structure or complexity - 13.5
