Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. There is a layer of sweet toastiness hanging over the floral and peachy fruit. Youthful still, but developing complexity. Sufficient intensity on the soft, fluffy, playful palate. Medium-long and succulent. | 90
Alex Hunt | This is a pretty strident, green-appley style. Luckily age has moderated the fizz, so it cushions rather than amplifies the high acid. Some nice grilled-almond notes emerge in the glass. Not complex, but has benefited texturally from its time in bottle, and could develop further. | 87
Tom Stevenson | Another very youthful-looking wine, with good freshness on both nose and palate. Lovely, gentle citrus fruit, long, linear, and fresh. Good brut finish. | 89
