Tim Atkin: Rich straw/gold. Oxidative, ripe style. Fat, broad, and honeyed. Prematurely developed. Nutty and sweet, with some honey. Bitter finish. Lacks acid. High alcohol; fat and sweet and fading - 12

Stephen Brook: Medium straw. Hefty, oaky stone-fruit nose, a bit stewed and overpowering. Broad, plump, full-bodied, and a bit heavy and obvious. There’s no lack of ripe fruit here, but there’s not much else, other than overt oak, going on, and it lacks finesse and precision. Juicy but slack on the finish. Fairly short - 13.5

Alex Hunt: Moderately intense and quite beguiling blend of peachy fruit and toffee oak on the nose. This is a ripe style for sure, but with lovely balanced acidity to temper it. The palate texture is complete and delicate, and the finish has both tenderness and poise. A classy, understated wine with its individual style - 15.5
