BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Pale lemon/straw. Strange, grapey, almost Gewürz-like nose of rose petal. Is this pure Chardonnay, or has it been blended with something else? Nasty, bitter, light. Lacks weight and concentration. Possibly some gray rot - 10

Stephen Brook: Decidedly sweet nose and probably has a fair amount of botrytis. Has a soft attack, and a surprisingly neutral fruit quality. There is some acidity, but I suspect it’s added, since it fades on the mid-palate. The wine lacks focus and the finish is edgy, with a touch of grapefruit that’s at odds with the riper impression of the nose and attack. Fairly short - 11.5

Alex Hunt: An odd, mossy nose, with seemingly a high incidence of rot. Palate is green and sour, with a dirty peach finish. Poor. 7
