SF | Soft green gold with a distinctive poached pear ( Roussanne?) aromatic and a rich generous plate profile, high in extract, alcohol and acidity, the trinity conspiring successfully to fashion a wine of distinction and style, albeit from the more indulgent end of the spectrum.. 92
AJ | Steel-white, with bright glints. Fresh, lemony, angelica, a hint of tamarind: another subtle and singular aromatic. Attractive and enticing. This is a little bit over-dry, lacking the arresting core of chunky fresh fruit which qualifies the best. I'm not sure why so. A little flat and lacks resonance ... perhaps in the end the issue here is that it doesn't have the architectural acidity of the others. Might this be connected to its 14%? It's not warm or 'alcoholic' for all that.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2027. 85
RM | pale straw in colour with a gently integrated savoury character on the nose and a similarly rather lovely taut creamy-buttery fruit mid palate, nothing overt here, leading to a long, linear zesty-stony finish. Lovely balance and integration.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 91
