Tim Atkin: Very pale, almost water white. Light, smoky, struck-match nose. Subtle and understated aromas. Palate a little too light? Fresh and taut, but a tad dilute. Early picked? Decent citrus fruit, with some complexity - 15.5
Stephen Brook: Ripe heady nose, with a hint of botrytis. Good attack, with assertive acidity cutting through the appley fruit. This has zest and an appealing tanginess that refreshes the palate. There’s also a welcome tightness and thus an absence of flab. Balanced and vigorous, with a convincing finish and some elegance - 17
Alex Hunt: Taut, engaging nose of melon, strawberry, and a bit of struck match. Lovely aroma! This is structured and focused in the mouth, but it has curves in all the right places. Pretty, deftly made Chardonnay - 16.5
