Tim Atkin: Mid-straw. Very strange, green malt/ TCP (antiseptic) nose. Palate strange, too, with lemon-juice acidity, tartness, and a faintly off-putting green-malt note here, too. Very dry, very acidic, and rather lacking in fruit. Developed, too. And beery 13
Nicolas Belfrage: 1 = color of water and 9 = deep gold: Col 2. Again the green-apple character, aromatics a bit on the low side, acidity perhaps slightly high. Perhaps true Arneis is not as interesting as we once thought (now unblended) 12
Alex Hunt: Distinctive aromas of cloudy pear juice. The palate is vivid but simple, with rather aggressive acidity. It doesn’t seem fully formed—more of a wine/fruit-juice hybrid 14
