Michael Edwards: A more vivid blooming-rose hue; inviting. And one isn’t disappointed. Lovely scents of strawberries in a warm summer. Palate confirms, seductive strawberry fruit but not overblown. That note of fresh acidity suggests it might conceivably be English. Wherever it comes from, it’s quite delicious 17

Simon Field: Salmon coloring, with copper tints; a rather lazy mousse and aromas of cherryade and forest floor; the palate is a little torrefied and flat, overripe fruit or worse has deconstructed vestigial potential with no shortage of success 12

Tom Stevenson: Strawberry-jam nose; perfumed, high-acid palate, followed by perfumed finish 14.5
