Tim Atkin: Pale lemon straw, with a green tinge. Perhaps some botrytis on the nose? A little sweet on the palate. Sweet pears and spice; soft, slightly honeyed palate. Decent drinking here but not very exciting or vibrant - 14.5
Stephen Brook: Dumb nose, showing a light toastiness. Rather sweet and sappy, overripe, and may have some botrytis, with a tropical-fruit character that’s a bit vulgar. This lacks elegance and lift but has enough acidity to give moderate length - 13.5
Alex Hunt: Flat, cardboardy nose. Harmonious palate structure, but dissipated, overly soft flavor - 12.5
