Essi Avellan | Fragrantly toasty, refined, coolly fruity nose. Pear, lime, and smoke. Super-dry palate, cuts the wine off. There is charm only on the nose. Feisty, zingy palate, with plenty of tension. | 96
Simon Field | Lively mousse, an energetic and very forthright style; modest color but plenty of gusto; nose of apple charlotte and nectarine. Peaches and poached pear adorn the palate; the finish is robust and long. | 92
Tom Stevenson | Fresh, clean, crisp, really well-focused fruit on nose, palate, and finish. About as good as I could possibly expect from a non-dosage 2004 some 14 years down the line. | 96
