BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Muted nose of appley fruit withatouch of earthy characters. Very sweet palate, unnecessarily so. Fruity and healthy, but it remains rather simple and the finish is very sweet. The tartness of the acidity comes at the very end of the finish. | 87

Alex Hunt | Lots of character here: toasty, lightly honeyed on the nose, but then a surprisingly broad palate, with stone fruit turning to a distinct almondy bitterness on the finish. A bit chaotic but plenty of fun. | 88

Tom Stevenson | Pale; very fresh and youthful, with fruit only just beginning to open up. So young and full of energy on the palate that it must be a fairly recent disgorgement and fairly current, yet the mousse is so smooth and integrated that there has to be a bit of aging. Promises to improve with time. Impressive. | 90
