BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook: Limes on the nose, and an impression of ripeness. Medium-bodied, graceful, almost delicate; an understated style with considerable finesse. But there's something undernourished here, and it needs a bit more weight of fruit to balance the acidity. Quite good length. 14.5

Jancis Robinson: Light and floral on the nose. Quite impressive tension - a subtle wine that may be overshadowed by bigger styles, but this is well done. Very tight, but the right balance between acidity and attractively ripe fruit. 15.5

Alexander Scott: More restrained than the Bacharach Hahn on the nose, but far livelier in the mouth: positively sparkles. High wire, if without marked terroir character. Very good, though, and needs time. 15.5
