On the fence with this one. Bought from M&S, brave move to put it on the shelves. At first it was rather pleasant but shy on the nose with ripe apricot, hay and rose water. The palate came out very light in flavour but with sharp young grippy tannins making the experience rather unpleasant. Giving time and a more moderate temperature it opened up a bit, softening the tannins and opening up the flavours a touch. Still not quite in balance for me. Interesting and accessible, there is potential for the style, but I'm sure this is not the best example of orange wine.
