BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Medium-deep golden color. Attractive, soft, and fruity, slightly autumnal nose of pastry, apple, caramel, and biscuit. Healthy and fruit-forward, with some aged depth. Round, soft, and fluffy palate, with a lovely, succulent finish. Open, generous, and fresh, drinking nicely. | 89

Alex Hunt | Very attractive aroma, mature but still bright, with notes of red apple and freshly baked bread. The mousse dissipates quite quickly in the glass, but the wine still has plenty of zip, the high acid just about matched by depth of flavor and body. The finish is pure and chalky. A class act. | 92

Tom Stevenson | Straw to straw-yellow color, a smidgen of maderization on the nose, but does not seem that old, yet there is a full and meaty palate of good maturity. Lovely soft mousse, very fine and settled bubbles, excellent acidity, and a long, tapering, true-brut finish. | 87
