Tim Atkin: Mid-lemon straw. Mealy, vanilla oak nose, with some spice. Soft, gentle palate, slightly sweet, subtle oak, and some lees work. Alcohol a little too marked. Soft, and lacks a touch of acidity, but it is appealingly made - 15.5

Stephen Brook: Hefty, oaky nose, linseed, wax, shellac— none of which is particularly appealing. Thick and rather heavy, with edgy acidity that isn’t integrated; oily and slack, lacking freshness and energy. Dull and fairly short - 12

Alex Hunt: Leafy, limey, lively nose, with a nice line in smoky sulfides. Round and engaging upfront, with a neat, grippy finish. Acid and alcohol fight a little at present; this still has some time to go - 16
