Tim Atkin: Pale straw, floral, mid-weight Chardonnay, with no obvious oak on the nose. Pleasant, honeysuckle notes on the palate, with fresh acidity and a touch of cinnamon. Refreshing, dry finish. No great weight or concentration here, but this is a decent quaffing Chardonnay with a hint of cream - 15.5
Stephen Brook: Lean, bright, green-apple nose, fresh and aromatic. Good attack, assertive— indeed, there’s a slight greenness, but it’s invigorating, too. What it lacks is some depth and flesh, and there’s little structure other than the prominent acidity. Nonetheless, an appealing wine at the apéritif end of the spectrum or with a bucket of oysters - 15.5
Alex Hunt: Taut, youthful aromas of orange peel and apple, with some banana richness for good measure. The palate offers a satisfying combination of fruit density and crisp acidity (presumably little or no malolactic here?). Mid-weight and engaging now, this will be better in a year - 15.5
