Richard Mayson: Some ripeness on the nose, scented, floral, touch of jasmine; quite austere initially, opening out to reveal steely-appley fruit and a lovely clean, steely finish. Good balance. 15.5

Charles Metcalfe: Honeyed, creamy, relatively full-bodied aromas. Creamy, honeyed, fresh, with stone-fruit and honey flavors. Just off-dry, and beautifully balanced. 15

Joanna Simon: Smoky, fresh apple and pear aromas—very appetizing. Smoky, mineral, salty notes on the palate, with ripe green-apple and pear fruit, pink grapefruit. Medium-bodied, good, with some textural depth. Integrated acidity. Long and sustained. 16.5
