BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Floral nose with waxy development. Soft fruitiness, slightly in the oxidative direction, with woody tones. Very sweet and rich on the palate. A bit unfresh and cloying but fine intensity remaining | 87

Alex Hunt | Quite muted, apple/bread aromas, then a certain sharpness together with Sherry-like aldehyde characters on the palate. Not a very refined or pleasant mouthful. | 83

Tom Stevenson | Youthfully pale in color, very fresh, with acids still quite raw. Not bad, but this actually seems to need more time in bottle, which is strange for an Historic NV tasting. | 85
