Tim Atkin: Mid-straw. Egregiously oaky nose. Raw, sawdusty, and bitter, with notes of orange marmalade underneath. Confected and rather sweet. A one-glass wine. Heavy and rather ponderous - 13

Stephen Brook: Medium straw. The nose seems evolved and has an oily character that’s probably derived from the oak. Broad, rounded, simple; a touch heavy. Inoffensive but lacks personality. Hard to see this evolving positively. Medium length - 13

Alex Hunt: Some power on the nose, but a lot of dusty oak overwhelming the rather delicate melon fruit. Not heavy, and with some concentration mid-palate, but the flavor tends toward flatness. I’d like both more depth and more brightness - 14
