Overview

Michael Edwards: Quite a forward, honeyed style; nice attractive fruit but a lack of acidity—the Achilles heel for some in 2006 15

Simon Field: Evolved color, then extraordinary rich nose of patisserie, honey, and biscuit. Palate combines coconut, verbena, oily-oak, beeswax, and Seville orange; a symphonic effort, in other words: indulgent and restrained, poised and powerful 17

Tom Stevenson: Butterscotch-malo aroma dominating; firm mousse; rich to cloying finish 10
