Michael Edwards: Rose-petal pink; compote rather than fresh fruit, but lacks a bit of energy or the sheer exuberant fruitiness of the best ’09 pinks shown today 14.5

Simon Field: Rosehip color; rather recalcitrant mousse; nose of potted pear, soft cherry, and mirabelle plum; palate quite fat and a shade oxidative; lacks the mechanics of integration 14.5

Tom Stevenson: Very rich, almost too rich; lacking elegance at this stage 14.5
