Michael Edwards: Similar easy style to [Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque 2004]. Attractive green fruits character 15

Simon Field: Oaky, with still rather amylic notes, a little lactic at the very least. The palate sends stentorian messages from the oak camp; these messages will not be without adherents. A powerful wine; might work well with a ripe chèvre 16.5

Tom Stevenson: Complex, bready smoky fruits. Needs a bit of mellowing, so give it another 12 months in bottle 17
