Essi Avellan | Glossy lemon color. Stylishly reductive, gunpowder-complexed nose. Yellow and red fruit, toast and white flowers. Cool, compact, and very complex nose: highly promising. Fresh, focused palate, lean and crisp. Taking time very well. So sophisticated and layered, and still on the rise. | 93
Alex Hunt | Bright toast-and-marmalade aromas. Full and rounded, with plenty of vigor still. There’s a chalky purity that complements the natural richness of the raw material. Good—and will continue to improve. | 90
Tom Stevenson | Lovely toasty aroma, with gunpowdery notes. Fine, long, grippy finish. | 91
