SF | Pale and somewhat austere of inclination it seems; the nose dominated by salty verbena and essence of lime; invigorating certainly. Hints of mint, thyme and lemongrass add further complexity. Am intriguing wine, for sure, deft of construction and harmonious of intent. It will be intriguing to learn what the base vintage is in this instance... 92
AJ | Bright mid-gold Fresh and lively with some oak sweetness; still relatively youthful and inarticulate, but attractive. Very firm on the palate, and one of the few wines where I wonder if it isn't actually overoaked, as there is a slight clash with the plunging acidity and somehow not much is emerging in the middle. But let's give it time and see how things turn out ... the raw materials are good here.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 88
RM | a mystery non-vintage but with a lovely mid-deep straw hue and a fine, almost Burgundian aromas of toasted oak, lemon-butter with a touch of spring blossom; there is obviously some age here with some lovely fresh yet creamy texture and depth, fairly well integrated savoury oak and a long soft, suave finish retaining a long streak of citrusy freshness.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2028. 93
