Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon. Deeply fruity nose, baked apple and pastry tones. Mature intensity on the palate, too, with a calm mousse persisting. Sweet, caressing finish. | 90
Alex Hunt | This has the cohesion lacking in the 1990- base wine. Less fruity in flavor, less austere in structure, it’s a really convincing example. | 90
Tom Stevenson | Paler than the 1990. Rich, full, and generous, this is amazingly youthful compared to the theoretically superior 1990-based NV. | 91
