BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | Light gold, bright, the legs clinging to the glass in celebration more than defiance. Dried, crystallized fruit, barley sugar, and a hint of nutmeg. Appealing mid-palate generosity of fruit; balanced acidity, but only just; a resourceful and honest peroration. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Pale pewter-gold. Fragrant, with ample waxy linden perfume; a touch of tangerine, too. Understated yet enticing; pristine cleanliness here. Very sweet, yet classily so, with plenty of ingrained perfumes along the waxy, linden lines the aromas suggested; a little soft, lemony acidity, too, and something spicy in the finish. Stylish and impressive: a treat at any time. | 90
