SF | Bright gold, lustrous; the aromatic is dominated by nuts, figs and crystallised lemon; savoury notes in the ascendancy. This theme reverberates down the palate; the concentration of the fruit, albeit displaying secondary characteristic, is sufficiently powerful to ensure that the ensemble is structurally coherent;. the soft sweet notes of fig and white chocolate can only serve as a bonus, 92
AJ | A rich gold now, with some green glints Mellow and poised, but the fruits are still singing here, and they are very pure too: honey, nectarine, pineapple. An attractive sweet oak sheen adds to the appeal, bringing vanilla and lanolin. Intense, vivid and driving. Acids carries the concentration, which is almost a little stressful: an arrowhead in flight. You wouldn't doze through this, that's for sure -- and it still have much to offer.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2027. 90
RM | mid-deep in hue, though still with a green tinge; rich, heady, integrated beurre blanc fruit with a whiff of wood smoke on the nose; similarly rich buttery flavours on the palate, ripe with good integration and lemon-butter freshness with new oak flavours showing up on the finish. Impressive.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 93
