Jane Anson - Decanter Magazine

A rich and layered white that sits at the level you would expect from a classified estate. Apricot and stone fruits abound, with creamy caramel edging and a welcome touch of bitter honeysuckle on the finish that is needed to balance what is a rich wine. Impressive, if weighty. 80% new oak.

Lots of papaya and mango with other tropical fruit on the nose, together with hints of cream. Full-bodied with a soft, round texture that is really attractive. Lots of sherbet character now. Delicious finish. A big, juicy white, yet tangy and fresh at the end. Drink now.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Grass and green apple. Lovely texture, thrillingly persistent and with real energy. Quite a zesty, mineral, focused wine - linear and direct. Perfect with oysters. Lovely and a top buy.
