Stephen Brook: Sweet lime-cordial nose, with some lift and charm. Fresh and precise; a pure and lean style, with a sleek texture. Just a hint of sweetness, but fortunately balanced by attractive acidity. This is not especially complex, but it’s an honest wine with no frills. That makes it immensely drinkable, and it’s a good food wine in spite of the hint of residual sugar. Good length. 16
Simon Larkin: Very distinctive aromas—almost grassy in a Sauvignon manner; green herbs, too. On the palate, this is cool, fresh, and relatively lively. Not the cumbersome richness and weight of others, but lacks some distinction. Greengage, green herbs, tangy, fairly straightforward, elegant and refined, with modest length on the finish. A cleaner-cut style—no botrytic element here—and it shows more mineral nuances on the finish. 12
Andreas Larsson: A very perfumed and musky nose; floral, with grapey notes. The palate is on the lighter side: very fresh and zesty, with a moderate finish. Pleasant but not complex. 11
