Andrew Jefford: Pale to mid-gold; languid mousse. A faintly grassy freshness here, over green fruits. Fresh and biscuity; a well-preserved 2002, though at its peak just now. In style, this is very poised and graceful, flowery and light, with near perfect blanc de blancs proportions. All it lacks (if indeed a lack it is) is a sense of ambition and grandeur. But perhaps prettiness is as important an ideal with this style. 16
Tom Stevenson: Dried-leaf, straw-like, lacks freshness. 13
