Stephen Brook: Powerful floral aroma, as well as passion fruit and lanolin. This might be a Rhône-style blend or an especially ripe Semillon, and certainly it has an aromatic impact. Broad and voluptuous, this does seem to steer between the perils of overripeness and heaviness. There is some acidity here, giving a welcome tanginess and a balance to the exoticism of the fruit. Any high alcohol doesn’t show, and the wine is concentrated and quite seductive. Long. 17.5

Alison Buchanan: Very rich gold/pale amber, this is dumb and mature on the nose. The palate is more ebullient, and there is some fruit there (which I doubted on the nose)—stone fruit complemented by vanilla cream, complemented by minerals. Successful winemaking in terms of drinkability, but there is little sense of place 16

Anthony Rose: Pale yellow-gold, this is powerfully fruity and intense on the nose. Equally, it’s big, concentrated, and rich on the palate, with a peach character backed up by substantial alcohol and almost chunky phenolics that bring a slightly rustic feel to the wine, which finishes with a feeling of fruit being overwhelmed by powerful alcohol. I thought I was going to like it more from the nose, but I ended up less enamored. 17.5
