BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Open, ripe, and quite aromatic on the nose—suggests a touch of Moscatel in the blend. A little more restrained on the palate, with lovely, naturally ripe creamy-grapey fruit all the way through to the finish. Not a keeper; drink now and enjoy. 14

Charles Metcalfe: Crisp, lemony, a hint of Moscatel. Seems unoaked or very lightly so. Clean, fresh, uncomplicated, with a lemony flavor, steely acidity, and crisp finish. Slightly unfinished—a sample withatouch of oxidation? 7

Joanna Simon: Spicy sweet oak on the nose, with intense green-plum and sweet-apple fruit on nose and palate, together with some white pepper and minerals. Good acidity. Quite concentrated and long. A little bit of heat on the finish. 16
