2021: James Suckling 89:
“Amber-tinged with aromas of tangerines, apple skins, licorice and honey. Ripe and textured with a medium body
and an easy, dry finish.”
2021: Jancis Robinson 16/20:
“More pale amber-gold than orange in colour. Not a great deal on the nose – a little furniture-polishy and varnishy.
But it tastes rather fabulous! Bitter oranges and very runny honey, choisya flowers and white pepper. Pink peppercorns too. A touch of sweetness –
I wonder if this has a few grams of residual sugar in it? Not that it detracts from the wine in any way. It’s a silky scarf of fruit and flowers flecked
with lots of spice on the end. This has fun food-pairing potential…” (TC)
