Tim Atkin: Very pale straw. Rather dilute, simple nose. Light, pseudo-Chablis palate. A little dilute and uninteresting, with a grassy, almost Sauvignon Blanc-like edge. High acid; lacks weight and seriousness - 12
Stephen Brook: Discreet but lifted nose, ripe lemon. Good attack, with bright acidity complementing the ripe citrus fruit. There’s a slight green edge on the palate, but it’s quite attractive and doesn’t detract— though some purists might differ. Zesty if one-dimensional, but it lacks some drive on the finish. Moderate length - 15
Alex Hunt: Odd cabbagy aroma; no fruit to speak of. Some intensity of mouthfeel, but lean, austere, and lacking in any real flavor dimension - 13
