BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | Limonite color, lighter than some. Restraint on the nose, too. A wine from the less demonstrative end of the spectrum: pineapple, lime, and even a hint of lemongrass. Rather withdrawn on the palate today; tobacco leaf and verbena potentially intriguing, but today failing to integrate. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Bright lemon gold. Tangy and lush, with plenty of rich, botrytized lemon and pineapple fruit in straightforward, enjoyable style. That’s what the palate delivers, too. No great craft or intricacy here, but much to enjoy. A cascade of sugar-drenched fruits. | 88
