Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc2. Fresh if uneventful nose. Good acid-fruit balance, with quite a lemony finish holding in place some fairly typical aromas of herb and mineral. Quite good length; one could drink a bottle, just about. Good with seafood or on its own- 14.5
Marcel Orford-Williams: Here is citrus on the nose, though more of the candied variety perhaps. Dry, quite full, a bit coarse, and not straight. Finish is mushroomy and a little clumsy- 13
Joanna Simon: Very pale. Peardrop, cold-fermentation smells and flavors. Sweet apple, fresh leaf, a touch of spice, and smokiness on the palate; acidity in balance. Light-medium body. Dry. A fresh Grigio rather than Gris style. Fairly simple- 13.5
