Simon Field | Gentle straw to green-gold; the mousse pirouettes around the glass. The nose is marked by restraint; apricot kernels, soft spice, and a hint of lanolin. The palate opens up with modest self-assurance, grounded by acidity, resplendent at the core, the citric and green fruit harmonious, understatement making its own statement. Very fine, poised and precise; an impressive chalky grip discloses its secrets gradually, ensuring a slow release of pleasure... | 95

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, this is bright and fresh if at this stage still elementally youthful and subdued in aroma, needing time in the glass to develop. So, it’s a bit of a shock, then, when, like a greyhound out of the traps, it explodes onto the tongue in a water cannon spray of pinprick bubbles, bringing an exotic richness of fruit flavor in its wake, with hints of mango and pineapple. And while the fruit is opulently ripe, it’s pulled back from the brink by an underlying citrus-driven streak that holds everything firmly in place. | 93
