Alison Buchanan: This may have fared less well. This is really a bit woolly–minded and much less obviously focused but there is still some freshness there – not bad at all. 14.5

Alex Hunt: Aldehyde aromas, like mature, flat Champagne. Not altogether unpleasant, but oxidation is starting to win the battle here, and the finish in particular is bitter. 10

Andrew Jefford: Full–yellow. Sweet, must–like, with pear fruit: unexpected. Some orchard leafiness, but fundamentally this is tart now. 8
