Score 17/20 · Drink 2018-2026, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Oct 2017
Limestone soils. RS 3.9 g/l, TA 7.75 g/l Youthfully smoky/reductive on the nose but rich in a spiced citrus character, almost a touch honeyed. Ripely fragrant. There’s a richness from the little bit of residual sugar but mostly from the fine fruit intensity. Rich, creamy and long, and all still to play for. A touch of honey on the finish even though it tastes dry. GV (JH)

Aromas of lemon rind and sliced apple with pear undertones. Full body, lots of fruit and a fresh finish. A little simple in the end. Drink now. Made from organically grown grapes.
