BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Light yellow, ripe hue; citrus and a touch of pear and yellow peach. Sensuous, almost ready, amicable. 16

Andrew Jefford: Pale gold and gentle, steady mousse. Uneventful aromatic profile: fabrics, green plum, perhaps a little honeysuckle. The fruit qualities here are a little tenuous and light, so the dosage is evident, but it’s not cloying; simple, graceful, pretty enough. A touch sherbetty, even. You’d begin to want something a little deeper and sappier after the first glass. 14

Tom Stevenson: Very fruity, fresh, and soft. So 2009! Easy to drink now, but will also evolve beautifully. 18
