BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Pale straw/lemon. Reduced, with some sulfides. Oatmeal, high acidity; a little thin, perhaps, but with underlying complexity. Fresh acid. A little lean. Tart - 15

Stephen Brook: Apple-compote nose. Fresh attack, quite lively, with rather fierce acidity, and a lack of flesh and complexity. It’s onedimensional, with the appeal immediate but not sustained on the palate, which ends up as rather green. Medium length - 13

Alex Hunt: Vaguely toasty, butterscotchy nose. Not a lot of aromatic punch. The palate shows signs of oxidation, with flavors of nuts and old honey. Despite the promising color, this seems past its best - 13
