Alison Buchanan: Rich yellow-gold, this shows some restraint on the nose yet evokes the idea of a sun-blushed apple harvest. Richly textured, it coats the palate, yet there is a clear layer of acidity. This has richness and freshness but not, at this juncture, in the right order. This may change with time. 13.5

Stephen Brook: Pretty nose, quite tropical, apricot and pineapple. Fresh attack, but there seems to be some unwelcome sweetness here. Has acidity that gives it some zest, but the fruit quality seems overripe. Still it has more vigor than most and a brisk, clean finish. 15.5

Oz Clarke: Fairly green. Fresh apple and pear, and a little leather on the nose. Palte fresh, bright-lemon and apple peel. Attractive,balnaced, not exciting, but some cream and toast and acid fruit. Good, not great. Crisp,direct, attractive. 15
