Michel Bettane; Decent but completely lacking in style, with a short palate. 11

Simon Larkin : Golden-lemon appearance with aromas of hazelnut and creamy white fruit. The palate shows good complexity with toasty, biscuity nuances and a good sense of richness. There is an ample weight of fruit, with creamy characters well expressed. It perhaps lacks that mark of finesse, though it represents a sound style. 12.5

Anthony Rose: Youthful pale gold. A little quiet on the nose. Pleasant fruit, if somewhat anodyne in flavour and one-dimensional in texture. Nothing wrong with it, but just lacks that extra dimension of character and flavour. 14
