Andrew Jefford: Pale gold; delicate mousse. Quietly bready, with suggestions of pollen and hay, but a little reserved just now, as if it had a green skin over it that needs stripping away; needs more time to achieve articulacy. Almost slightly reduced, if that were possible. Intense, vivid, and lively on the palate, acid-structured, but richly acidic, with lots of vinosity and pungency beginning to articulate itself around that acidity. A very good wine, which again needs a little longer to resolve itself and show at its best. 15.5

Tom Stevenson: Lots of fruit and lots of character, but lacks finesse in the finish. 14
