  An odd wine with massive minerals and some not very fresh fruit. Acidity is fine and the texture is fat and rich. No doubt this is an interseting and soulful wine but really not that tasty on the palate. Maybe I just prefer bubbles in my blanc de franc?

  A slight hint of pink colour in the glass and a grapefruit and floral perfume nose. Full flavoured and well balanced, a good dry yet rich taste with a warming alcohol finish. Very good. 87-88pts

  Watery pale.
  Quite an unusual scent bringing only a tiny hint of fruit, some macadamia and leesy notes. In fact the nose reminds me strongly of sake!
  Dry, light and rather crispy on the palate. Good structure. Some strawberry, citrus, peach and liquorice. Quite refreshing but otherwise warm and again pretty sake-like aftertaste with medium length.
  An unusual wine - probably most suited for gastronomic purposes.
