Essi Avellan: Deep peach color. Soft, creamy nose, with toastiness. Ripe apricotty fruitiness and mellow character with butterscotch. Smooth and wide on the palate, with freshness. Long and pleasurable. 16.5

Simon Field: Russet color, then a phenolic but very rich palate; herbal, tannic, sweet, and luxuriant. Basking in its own indulgence, but with a disciplined tannic backdrop, this is a wine with gravitas and potential in equal measure. 17

Tom Stevenson: Pale peach color, slightly high-toned aroma, fruit simple. Fresh and okay, but not special. 15
