Top vintages can offer irresistible value. Already drinking well, the 2017 vintage (4*) was mostly (85 per cent) fermented in French oak barriques (15 per cent new); 15 per cent of the blend was tank-fermented. Light lemon/green, with a fragrant, slightly smoky bouquet, it is mouthfilling, with generous, vibrant, peachy flavours, a hint of butterscotch and good complexity.
