BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Mid- to fuller gold. Lots of bean pod and some capsicum on the nose. Fresh and vivid on the palate, but not particularly subtle and not really melting into any evident sign of secondary grace. Well crafted to start with, from barely ripe raw materials. 83

Andreas Larsson: Floral and perfumed, with some musky and spicy notes; quite restrained fruit, lime zest and some mineral notes. The palate is still quite young, with a slight spritz, fresh acidity and medium weight; some developed notes on the finish though, giving a slightly heady aftertaste; pretty okay but not for further cellaring. 80

Jancis Robinson: Pale greenish straw. Sweet, rather faded nose. Confected flower aromas rather than appetizing fruit. Has lost the core and plot. Drink 2010–13. 85
