'Tastes like a slice of fresh-baked Victoria sponge piled with thin segments of blood orange and raspberries. And a spicy dustiness: icing sugar and baobab fruit and sumac and pink peppercorns.' - Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com

'A Bolly-shaped sparkler ... there is heady perfume and an apple and cinnamon compote theme here which is rather alluring.' - Matthew Jukes, matthewjukes.com

'This is pure and focused. It's all about fruit, with precision and intensity. Zesty, citrussy, with hints of cherries and pear fruit.' - Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com

'Lovely autolytic notes that almost attain a rye crumb saltiness, underlined by the firm texture and creamy foam.' - Anne Krebiehl MW, The Buyer
