"Attractive lemon colour, a little more depth to the nose, some reduction, suggesting a flower or two as well. Very finely balanced, a little more flesh at the back. And then kicks on significantly. Excellent tension, a fine example."

"Also a nose that’s compact but showing some additional mineral style. Plenty of gas. There’s energy here, for sure. Slowly the wine’s coming into focus as the gas fades. Great finishing flavours – maybe the best yet. Probably a great villages!"
