BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Ripe and well integrated on the nose, full, buttery fruit underlying; soft, ripe, and toasty, quite fat initially, with citrussy acidity rising toward the finish. Crisp length. 15

Charles Metcalfe: Alcohol shows on the nose, grinning through the lemon and honey aromas. Good acidity, slightly phenolic, more lemon flavor than any other. It is a bit hot and slightly skeletal. Could have used more roundness. 10

Joanna Simon: Rich but fresh nose. Opulent, fleshy palate with peach and sweet, spicy apple fruit and green-olive freshness. Oily, rich texture, oaky middle, but fresh finish. 16
