Michael Edwards: A lighter, more salmon hue; quite marked acidity, quite a lean style, lacks a bit of Pinot richness 14.5

Simon Field: Gentle rosé hue, with a suitably restrained nose; palate, however, is unnervingly sweet and a little disjointed; lacks resilience and sense of purpose 13

Tom Stevenson: I’ve tasted worse at pre-release stage, so this could improve, but as a commercially available product, its chemical nose and less-than-attractive fruit do not do it much justice 10
