Essi Avellan | Pale youthful color. Lovely, soft, subtle fruitiness on the elegant and reserved nose. White fruit, pastry, and light toasty tones. Very youthful on the soft, fluffy palate of lightness and freshness. Still there is some intensity there. Charming, floral, and zingy. | 90
Alex Hunt | At the more youthful end of the spectrum, with brioche and red-fruit notes to the fore. Very attractive nose, understated but characterful. The palate is a little blunt in comparison; it’s at a nice stage of development but there is an underlying hardness there. | 87
Tom Stevenson | Pale and youthful-looking and fresh and youthful on both nose and palate. This must be a fairly recent disgorgement. Fresh, citrus fruit with a chalky minerality, very vibrant, with lots of energy and an authentic brut finish. I’d drink this, whatever it is! | 90
