BUY THE WINE

Victoria Daskal | Delicate aromas of cool fruits and gentle blossoms. Sharp, vital acidity jolts you awake and concentration of pure fruit emerges on the mid-palate. | 89

Jamie Goode | Generous but still balanced, with the rich pear and baked apple notes countered nicely by some citrus and spice. A broad, concentrated wine of real depth and substance, kept honest by the acidity. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold. Quite simple apple fruit here, though not unattractive. Vivid, fresh, light, well-rounded, and even a touch caramelly on the palate. I’m not against the residual-sugar styles, but the complexity seems to drop away rapidly. An enjoyable wine to drink, but not more. | 82
