Michael Edwards: A little more broad-shouldered and denser than the [Nyetimber Single Vineyard ]. Plenty of structure and potential, but all the elements—fruit, acidity, and above all, balance—need to work themselves out 15.5

Simon Field: Lemon tints and a persistent nacreous filigree; palate has weight, an enthusiastic mid-palate fruit persona, and reasonably generous dosage. A little precocious but not without potential 16

Tom Stevenson: Rich and tangy, but simple, lacking character, style, and finesse 12
