BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Silver-green in color, and a fresh and almost grassy scent, with just a little musky edge; tea leaf, too. Lightly attractive. Fresh, graceful, creamy, and poised—an excellent choice for those who are slightly shy of the style: It is accurate and quietly charming, without being in any way baroque. | 91

Charles Metcalfe | Rather closed and dumb, with alcohol showing on the nose. It’s very young and will probably open out. Acidity is fresh and very well in balance with other components. There’s a little sweetness, and flavors and aromas develop in the mouth as the wine warms up. The finish is on the dark side of the Gewurz spectrum: a hint of toast, barley sugar, and a touch of litchi. | 88

Jancis Robinson | Very pale greenish straw. Very light, high- acid nose. Very youthful, with some fermentation aromas still hanging around but refined and quite delicate with low phenolics. Racy and just a suggestion of sweetness. Builds to a peacock’s- tail finish. Should develop into something quite special. Drink 2018–24. | 90
