BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Mid-straw with a streak of gold. Honeyed; some development on the nose. Attractive pear and apple, with a touch of honeydew melon and lovely zesty acidity; a hint of phenolics for added complexity; no oak. Good texture and length, with a bracingly fresh finish 17

Jesús Barquín: Straw yellow. Austere, with good structure and texture, precise acidity; not overtly expressive but pleasant enough 15

Simon Field: Mute color but slightly evolved sherbety nose, quite floral, with hints of lime blossom evidenced. The palate has a pleasing interplay between fruits from both exotic and citric ends of the spectrum and a gentle nuanced sweetness, then a distinctive, agreeable mandarin finish 16
