Michael Edwards: Even bright gold, lacy mousse, depth, generosity, and balance. | 90
Simon Field: Straw color, fairly large bubbles, quick to dissipate. A smoky, youthful nose; mealy notes, with brioche, nectarine, and a touch of lemon zest to enliven the palate, which is linear, firm, and quite long. The angular profile will not want for adherents; purity for purists, evidently. Hard analysis will be rewarded. | 91
Anne Krebiechl: Golden color. A chalky hint of wet stone on the nose, the merest flicker of flint. A wonderfully poised palate that reveals a concentrated core of lemon oil that emanates brightness, briskness, freshness, and drive. Hints of honey, of iron oxide, of wet stone always come to that taut sense of linearity and buffered lemon zest. I feel this may need more time but it is intriguing and moreish as it is. | 95
