Tim Atkin: Mid-straw/lemon. Fat, smoky-bacon nose, with rather intrusive oak. The palate tastes like an oak stave: raw and smoky, with what seems like a combination of bitterness, wood smoke, and slight sweetness. The fruit beneath is too thin for the weight of oak - 10

Stephen Brook: Some richness and a light toastiness on the nose. Medium-bodied, broad, and soft; but it sags on the mid-palate and lacks some energy. There’s insufficient fruit concentration and acidity. Perfectly pleasant, but not a wine to dig deep into one’s pockets for. Fairly short - 11.5

Alex Hunt: This has a fairly neutral aroma, with almonds and a touch of peach; quite an Italian feel, in a way. The palate is very soft, fuzzy like a peach skin, and then ends with marked alcohol and a sort of pappy, bready flavor. This lacks some drive and focus - 13.5
