Michael Edwards: Rich agrumes fruits and a real core of flavors; no asperity 16

Andrew Jefford: Mid-gold; fine mousse. Full, elegant, sweetly beguiling, coolly creamy, though not finely detailed as yet (give it time). Elegant, fresh, powdery palate, with lots of stony finesse to it. As with some of the other 2007 wines, the acidity is very prominent yet super-ripe, super-round, very drinker-friendly. Another exceptionally well-made wine with great poise and finesse. The finish is long yet fresh, full of sap and ivy leaf, and there is all the ground-stone complexity that you could want, too. The fruit qualities here are admirably subtle. A few more years should bring greater aromatic detail and nuance. Just slightly taut and acidically firm at the end but that will soften... Outstandingly pure, limpid blanc de blancs from fine vineyards, surely. 18.5

Tom Stevenson: Beautifully fresh and clean, with lovely yeastcomplexed Chardonnay fruit, this is a delight to drink on its own but would also be ideal at the table. 18.5
