Michael Edwards: This has a nice balance of minerality, pure fruit, and an enduring freshness. Well made. 16.5

Andrew Jefford: Pale to mid-gold; evanescent mousse. Generalized orchard scents. Tangy, forceful palate with a vivid, structured finish. The prominent acidity of 2005 required a very delicate hand with the dosage if it was to be seamlessly incorporated, and in this wine, as in others, there is a contrast between the hard acid profile and the dosage sweetness. But this is still a wine of substance and depth, and the fresh fruit is attractive. 14.5

Tom Stevenson: Deep and echoing throughout its length, but it lacks finesse. 14.5
