BUY THE WINE

Alison Buchanan: Pale gold. Weird, lactic, butterscotch nose again; some custard notes. Pretty unfortunate combination of custard and cardboard on the palate. Sweet apple-custard finish. 7.5

Nicolas Belfrage: Medium straw. Clean, crisp nose. Very firm acid, but plenty of yeasty, creamy flavour/mouthfeel. Lacking in concentration, however. 14

Alex Hunt: This is an attempt at a leesy Chablis style that doesn’t work. Thick textured without the fruit or acidity to match, it ends phenolic and stodgy. 11
