Essi Avellan | Lemon. Fresh Pinot-driven nose, with red-fruit opulence. Layers of vanilla and fragrant flowers. Elegant and delicate, with toasty complexity. Light-weight and vibrant, with spring-like fresh fruitiness. Very youthful, too. | 91
Alex Hunt | Light, fresh wine, with little to suggest that it’s been on cork for almost 9 years. Pastry, almond flavors, not much richness or resonance. Rather dull. | 82
Tom Stevenson | Fresh, gunpowdery-toast aromas, but moving more toward toast than gunpowder and contributes nicely to the evolved fruitiness. | 90
