Stephen Brook: Subdued apricot nose. Good attack, fresh and perky, light on its feet. There’s a hint of sweetness, but it’s balanced by fine acidity. This has poise and intensity and considerable charm, with plenty of lift on the finish. Not especially big or weighty but well made, leading to a fairly long finish. 16
Simon Larkin: The aromas suggest a discreet slatiness, while on the palate the fruit is taut and slate-infused, with notes of peach and rasping apple. A lively style, with marked minerality, as well as an appealing weight. No shrinking violet, but I appreciate the clarity with which the fruit is expressed. A complete style—rich yet harmonious. 14
Andreas Larsson: Flinty and mineral nose, rather elegant, with floral notes and stone fruit on the palate. Well balanced, with a vibrant freshness, long and pure to finish. Still very youthful, but well made and pure—just a bit masked by unnecessary residual sugar. 15
