BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Gentle, floral aromas suggesting Moscatel in the blend; similarly soft and gentle on palate. Grapey fruit and creamy oak on the finish, which doesn’t quite hang together. On the other hand, some may like this style… 14.5

Charles Metcalfe: Just the faintest hint of something not quite clean, a slightly reductive note. And the same on the palate, sitting on top of the lemon and honey flavors. A touch of residual sugar as well. Not my favorite. 10

Joanna Simon: Ripe, tropical-fruit aromas. Ripe, fleshy wine with apricot fruit, a freshening touch of white pepper, an oily texture, and a coating of oak, then a minerally, crisp, dry finish. There’s a lot going on, but oak broadens it too much. 15
