BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Lemony color. Highly floral and aromatic on the nose, with lifted soapy and gluey tones. Full-on, rich, and sweet palate, lacking elegance and layers. But it certainly has power and intensity still. | 86

Alex Hunt | A restrained, fairly savory nose leads to a surprisingly sharp, cidery palate. There’s little actual fizz—more the sense of a gassy wine. This seems to have attenuated with age, rather than rounded out. | 83

Tom Stevenson | Pale in color, with a very distinctive style on both nose and palate, and fruit that is a tad high-toned, but with excellent structure and acidity. | 86
