Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier of the 2018 vintage: Immediately complex and detailed bouquet with a core of brioche based autolysis and biscuit scents then baked apple and white strawberry, peach and wild flowers. Developing, inviting and elegant. Flavours on the palate include lemon and apple, brioche and strawberry, there’s a hint of coffee bean and oatmeal, citrus rind and mineral spice. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2028+. 95 Points (="OUTSTANDING") November 2023
Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier of the 2013 vintage: A distinctive and very complex bouquet beginning with aromas of a developed autolysis suggesting scents of butter brioche and fresh oats. There’s a toasty complexity with a whisper of marmite then scents of strawberry and peach. On the palate - very elegant and fine with a sophisticated coarse-silk textured mousse, flavours of leesy autolysis and a fine salty quality sticks to the palate. Flavours of stone fruit, some strawberry and baked apple reappear adding depth. Balanced and weighty with a toasty and fruit centric quality. Drinking perfectly now and will continue to do so for two to three years. A beautiful wine, elegant and sophisticated. I am charmed. 96 Points (="OUTSTANDING") Nov 2021
