Alison Buchanan: This is very mineral on the nose but is not as pure as some, being slightly cardboardy. This is echoed on the palate, which is rich, honeyed, ripe and seductive. This has a lovely concentration and lovely definition – very fine. 14.5
Alex Hunt: Starting to take on a mature peach/jasmine aroma. Open, well–focused, delicate yet fairly powerful. Blends Vouvray flavor with Sancerre grip. Very attractive. 15.5
Andrew Jefford: Mid pale gold. Unforthcoming and slightly dry aromatic profile (filter pads?). Acidic and edgy, with a dry finish. 10
