Richard Mayson: Restrained yet open creamy fruit on the nose, light-touch oak allowing the fruit to express itself; soft and peachy yet quite taut mid-palate with a nice savory backdrop, drinking very well now. 17

Charles Metcalfe: Quite a buttery, malo-dominated aroma. The same on the palate. Crisp, fresh, well balanced, but dominated by buttery malo character. 10

Joanna Simon: Smoky, oak-dominated nose and palate, but precise and concentrated fresh fruit in the green-plum-and-apricot spectrum, spicy notes from the fruit and the oak, and oak itself that is well judged and integrated. Crisply defined acidity. Long. 17
