Michael Edwards: Clear yellowish hue; quite clenched nose; more expressive in the mouth—mousse of vital but creamy texture; good balance and tension—fine apéritif style, some class 16

Simon Field: Lively mousse, but rather reticent nose: gunflint and tobacco evidenced. Palate rather raw and youthful; no shortage of mid-palate power; one just misses a touch of finesse and definition on the finish. Dry, with plenty of Calvinist work ethic—this one works well 16

Tom Stevenson: Another English-orchard style, with typically high acids, but broader and more involved, with yeast-complexed fruit more evident 16.5
