Essi Avellan | First bottle: corked and oxidative. Second bottle: rich but a bit muted compared to the other dosage versions and comes with an oxidative and unclean whiff. Seems very sweet, even sweeter than the 6g it actually has. | 96
Simon Field | An energetic style; citric aromatics, almonds and stone fruit, maybe a touch of reduction; it wears its acidity firmly on its sleeve and there is a little burn at the end... | 87
Tom Stevenson | First bottle: Corked and oxidized; on the nose, the oxidation dominated the TCA, but on the palate I had to spit it out quick because of the TCA. Second bottle: No TCA, no oxidation; clean, fresh, but well evolved. 94
Dosage 6 g/l
