Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Floral apple pear aromas, quite complex. Considerable viscosity but balanced by firm acidity, which is obviously natural. Considerable length and great balance. Drink as an apéritif or with light meats- 16.5
Marcel Orford-Williams: Not great—too much sugar—but not bad and certainly appealing. Not much on the nose; clean fruit, strong, and with good length- 16
Joanna Simon: Palish straw. Honey, apricots, and touches of litchi on the nose. A ripe, honeyed, nutty palate; some richness and concentration; medium acidity. What’s there is balanced, but it’s not particularly long and it lacks some definition and clarity- 14.5
