BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Ripe, warm-country fruit on the nose; rich, sweet, and buttery, butterscotch, verging on blowsy mid-palate, with the acidity reappearing on the finish. Bit disjointed and doesn’t really hang together. 14

Charles Metcalfe: This reminds me of lemon, honey, and glycerine pastilles! It’s quite simple, with lemony fruit, enriched by notes of honey and a full-bodied texture. Good acidity, well in balance with the rest. 13.5

Joanna Simon: A vanilla and buttered-toast oak-dominated nose and palate. Concentrated fruit matched to good acidity and rich texture, but flavors too dominated by oak to be harmonious. 14.5
