SF | Green-gold, with appreciable legs in the glass, but less by way of a persistent mousse! Nougat, yeast, fig, white chocolate, and a hint of herb, too; compact and complete. A distinct style, which will appeal to many, while others may aspire to more purity and precision. A well-made wine, for all that! 91
EA | Deep lemon-gold color. Expressive, sweetly fruity nose, with fine, toasty, roasted coffee-bean and vanilla layers. Pineapple, apple, and apricot. Silky smooth on the palate, of good volume and with racy acidity bringing energy to it. Great fruit purity continues on the palate. A long-lasting, succulent, and dynamic whole, with more to come. 2023–38. 95
TH | A refined, composed, and reductive profile, with some jackfruit, orange citrus, and peach melba. This has retained some lime-citrus precision amid tropical tones and yellow fruitiness, not hugely subtle but nevertheless rather detailed and energetic. A fine effort. 91
