SF | Exceptionally pale with a watery rim and evidence of viscosity, supported by the crib which advises 13.5 % of alcohol. An attractive nose, apricots and plum, a lick of oak ( vanillin and mango) and a soft spicy undertow; white pepper, principally. The palate amplifies the tropical element; guava and ripe pear; is nicely concentrated and once again redeemed by a shard of acidity, which not only underwrites structural integrity bit also signals a capacity to develop. Just the faintest salinity on the back palate adds further interest. 90
AJ | Steel white-gold. An attractive and well-crafted aroma, with lemon cream and soft honeyed notes. A touch of typical resin to provide some freshness and lift. Fresh, lively, clean and pristine in the mouth, and every inch the 'granite white' (a style I associate with a bright hardness, sustained acidity and attacking impact). There is some complexity here and the acidity brings structure as well as strike and edge. A lttle tannin, too.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2028. 87
RM | pale with a green tinge; slightly honeyed cold fermented grapefruit character on the nose and on the palate with a fresh but slightly extractive bitter finish with a suggestion of new oak. Simple and a bit disjointed.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2027. 84
