Overview

Essi Avellan: Lemon color. Some dusty and bruised notes over the white-fruit nose. Sharp and tart. | 85

Simon Field: Oaky, lumpy, and a touch foursquare; hints of lime and guava bemuse and prompt further enquiry... But the further enquiry does not provide much by way of satisfaction. | 84

Tom Stevenson: Crisp, lemony (Meunier!) fruit on both nose and palate. Nicely structured, light and linear. Fresh, crisp finish. | 86
