Essi Avellan | Deep color with amber hues. Sweet, honeyed, aged nose, with dried apricots, marmalade, and peach pie coming through. Sweet, broad, and round palate, with a calm mousse. Pleasant concentration of fruit still. Fine, fruity finish, with freshness persisting. Fully mature and past its peak, but it still has old-wine charm and complexity. | 89

Alex Hunt | Amber-gold color, very mature, with an attractive, poised, if relatively simple clean- mushroom and toast aroma. The palate is more complex and characterful, but also less composed than the nose, with some lovely exotic dried-fruit notes interspersed with the dustier tones of decay. Perhaps just a tad too old. | 87

Tom Stevenson | Medium-gold color indicating some maturity. Distinctly maderized, yet still a distinctly enjoyable and fruity palate, with a soft-brut finish. | 86
