BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Fresh, vibrant nose, with flowers and toast mingling. Some sweet candy tones and attractive, polished, peachy fruitiness underneathatoffee layer. Soft mousse and silky texture in a feather-light style. This has fruit and freshness but also subtle built- in complexity. Attractive and hugely drinkable. Blooming now. | 92

Alex Hunt | Pale gold color, consistent with a semi- mature nose of brioche, red apple, a bit of honey. Gently fizzy but with a nice kick of acid on the palate, still lots of focus and chalky grip. | 90

Tom Stevenson | Pale and youthful-looking. Fresh aroma, maybe a touch high-tone, but pleasantly attractive nonetheless. Tastes more like a good NV that has had an extra year in bottle than anything truly historic. | 89
