Tim Atkin: Mid-lemon straw. Mealy, candle-wax nose, suggesting lees stirring, with subtle oak. Fresh pear and tangerine flavors, bright acidity, a touch of oak, and real freshness, bite, and tang. A subtle wine that shows nuance and skillful winemaking. Mealy and fresh, with lovely use of oak - 18

Stephen Brook: Fleshy, oaky, apricot nose. Crisp and lively on the palate, with more acidity than the nose suggests; a wine of charm rather than power. An early-drinking style, with little complexity, but it’s very fresh and attractive if one-dimensional. Quite good length - 15

Alex Hunt: A warm-feeling nose of baked apples and fresh bread gives an expectation of a soft, cuddly palate—which it is, except for a noticeable and incongruous CO 2 prickle. There is fresh acidity, while the flavor spectrum is toward the sweeter end: butterscotch, peach, and pear. Enjoyable aspects here, though flavor and structure don’t quite overlap - 15
