Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Pungent, perfumed nose. The palate is hit by a wave of residual sugar, throwing the wine into imbalance. Trying to do an Alsace; not coming off (as if often does not in Alsace), with the sweetness overriding the acidity, which is not bad, just slightly overwhelmed. Pity—might have been good; the aromas are there- 12.5
Marcel Orford-Williams: Neutral, faintly toffee and tangerine. Sweet, clean, well made but fairly pointless. What does this go with? 13.5
Joanna Simon: Medium-pale with some green. Honeyed, ripe nose, with tropical, peachy fruit and nutty mineral notes. Ripe, sweet, honeyed apricots and cinnamon on the palate. Round and sweet but not enough acidity to give it bite and make it refreshing- 13
