Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Clean-laundry nose, some herb, some flower. Palate out of balance, with acid-fruit favoring the latter, with consequence of a somewhat sweetish finish that doesn’t quite win the fight against blandness. Okay for a glass or two, with chicken? - 12

Marcel Orford-Williams: Good positive nose, clean and minerally. Good fruit, some sweetness, but the balance is more or less there. Not sure it screams out PG, though maybe it does on the finish. This is enjoyable- 16

Joanna Simon: Bright, medium-pale. Honeyed, ripe nose. Honeyed palate, with very sweet entry, then candied citrus-peel and spice flavors: medium-full, quite concentrated, new oak. Well made, if not very subtle or elegant- 14.5
