Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2012-2020, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, May 2009

Pale bright gold. Lots of botrytis almond and gripfix (that white paste glue that also smells of almonds), sweet like golden syrup but with a lovely spicy overlay where syrup is just sweet. Viscous and a bitter marmalade aftertaste. As good as many other first wines. (JH)
