BUY THE WINE

SF | Mid-gold with a soft rim and medium viscosity. The nose hints at relatively modest success in terms of botrytis, nonetheless a degree of coconut and cream sweetness, all rounded off by something approaching passelerage. Orange blossom, butterscitch and quince , soft honey and lime essence; the focus very much on the mid-palate, which is silky and accomplished, more than can be said for the overall ensemble, which is somewhat fragile. 88
AJ | Sound gold, clear and bright with old-gold glints Fresh, creamy, with attractive glycerol charm; some green malt and chamomile-lawn notes lend further intrigue. Generous, full, open; in the end rather herbal, but this wine makes a good effort at convincing along the lines decreed by classicism. Look out for honeyed melon and a hint of pineapple; the acidity is vibrant, tooDrink Dates: 2028 - 2037.
