BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Nose a bit flat. Palate broad, finish sweet, with slight excess of residual. Quite drinkable, but not special. One glass; two at most- 13

Marcel Orford-Williams: Pointless wine: sugary without any depth. No middle and not much length. Sweet ’n’ sour finish. Coarse. Very little merit here- 10

Joanna Simon: Bright, medium pale. Ripe, honeyed, but fresh nose. Rich, ripe, honeyed apricot fruit on the palate—almost Gewürztraminer in character, but without the overt spice and litchi. Lowish acidity, with some residual sugar but convincing purity of flavor. Medium long- 14.5
