Andrew Jefford: Mid-gold; evanescent mousse. Gentle scents of autumn fruit, but a slight cardboard hint, too. Sweet, toothsome, and walnutty, reclining on the chaise longue... and lots of fun to drink. Not quite grand or sublime, however; just a little too soft and cuddly for that. Very good blanc de blancs nonetheless. 15.5

Tom Stevenson: Overroasted coffee dregs and toast. More interest than seductive. 16.5
