Michael Edwards: Still strong acidity, but the wine is fresh and vibrant, not dying as some are. Best in magnum. 17.5

Andrew Jefford: Very full gold. Very rich and elderly, with the classic walnut notes of fully mature Champagne Chardonnay. Gratifying and charming. Lush, full, open, and waxy on the palate, with walnut-butter richness in plenty, vivid acidity, and a very round dosage. Indulgent now, but I wouldn’t keep this for much longer (and it’s in magnum...). 15.5

Tom Stevenson: As pale as a three-year-old Champagne! Gorgeous! So fine and fresh, so complete and mellow, with gracefully aged, mellow, yet amazingly fresh coffee fruit. 18.5
