Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc2. Clean and fresh and perfectly acceptable, but rather monothematic. Good natural acidity, the old apple/pear aromas, touch of the herbals, but all rather in small scale. Balance okay, but character is nonexciting. Apéritif or with seafood- 12

Marcel Orford-Williams: Candied peel. Sweet ’n’ sour. Dry, austere. Okay but not much charm, and the finish is lean and austere- 12.5

Joanna Simon: Very pale straw. Aromatic, honeyed herbal nose. Fresh, ripe, honeyed citrus fruit on the palate, with thyme, honey, and lemon zest. Quite full-bodied and alcoholic, but interesting layers of flavor and acidity on the finish. Expressive and persistent, if a little foursquare- 16
