Michael Edwards: A bright, shimmering, ripe color; ripeness of fruit evident in a generous nose; mouthfeel shows tension, elegant acidity, and ripe vinous potential, nicely reined and controlled for the moment. Shows the virtues of this sunny vintage and a light hand in the winemaking 16

Simon Field: Citric nose, with a hint of brioche and redcurrant; palate has red-fruit charm, a sweetness born of ripeness not merely added sugar, and quite a focused firm finish 15.5

Tom Stevenson: Not bad, but too angular and ungainly to have any finesse 12
