"Bright, even, pale yellow. This has a gently rich bouquet with aromas of baked pear, toffee apple, jasmine and soft spice. Medium-full bodied, aromas of baked pear and toffee apple melded with jasmine and a touch of ginger. The ripe fruit shows weight and richness. Lively acidity flows with ease and carries fine-textured phenolics to a moreish finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Apr 2025

"Fresh, ripe and fruity bouquet of green pears and quince, apple and a fine lees quality are mirrored on the palate. Just dry with a lick of sweetness easily contrasted by the acid line, a vibrant mouthfeel, plenty of fruit a totally easy to imbibe style. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"It's elegantly expressed on the nose, showing apricot, rock melon, Asian pear, and floral notes. It leads to a fruit-expressive palate displaying juicy fruit intensity backed by bright acidity, offering delightful drinking. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2025
