SF | Lightly coloured, the nose challenged by hints of acetic acid; varnish undermining aromatic integrity. Smoky, leafy and touched by taut unforgiving acidity. A little harsh, therefore. 86
AJ | Pale silver-gold. Lots of aromatic fruit, in that early orchard fruit style that almost recalls Riesling: apple, grape, tangerine. Pure and attractive. That's what you find on the palate, too, though the fruits here are a little less pristine and lifted than for the best of its peers. Well-made and vividly fruited white Dao for all that, with lovely concentration.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2029. 89
RM | still pale and fresh in colour with gentle, well-integrated subtropical - savoury aromas and creamy ripeness on the palate with lovely soft, savoury integration on the finish and starting to show some complexity from age. Should continue to develop well in bottle.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2028. 89
