BUY THE WINE

SF | Pale straw. Nose of red and green apple, plum, and quince; hedgerow and hints of petrichor. Yeasty notes take over on the palate, with hints of digestive biscuit and Mirabelle plum; more expansive and accommodating, its dosage hitherto conspicuous but in no way overwhelming. Attractive, forward, and well-primed for a pleasant evolution, 92
EA | Bright, medium-deep lemon color. Appealing and inviting nose of pristine fruitiness. There are plentiful sweet peach and apricot tones to it, with a twist of vanilla, pencil shavings, and fruit drops. Cool and crunchy fruit, with hardly any austerity. The palate comes across fresh and fluffy, with an expansive but elegant mousse. The sweet and juicy appeal lasts all the way through to the fresh and perky finish of pristine fruit. 2023–35. 94
TH | Refined aromatics of tart pastry, raspberry, and orange citrus, subtly reductive and backed up with nicely pitched crusty bread and toasted almond. This shows a measured white-peach ripeness, but little of 2015's less desirable greenness. 2015's bustling energy is made rather approachable on the palate here, succulent, with some pear juice, bitter lemon, and a careful, complete shape. 2023–33. 93
