Alison Buchanan: Deep green-gold, this has a rather interesting, herbaceous nose, fresh and appetizing—steely and focused. The palate reflects the nose, with elegance and precision that continues through a long, poised finish. 16.5
Stephen Brook: Muted nose, hint of pineapple. Medium-boded but has some intensity and purity of flavor. Lean, citric aftertaste, with a good thread of acidity. Not a complex wine, but focused and reasonably long. 15
Oz Clarke: Fair green-gold. Very attractive, easy mix of leesy yeast and acidity, and very nice, rather buxom fruit. Good apple and peach flesh, attractive acid and a little wax—very nice, direct, tarty stuff, just enough sauvage character and just a hint of stones and herbs. Good. 16.5
