Essi Avellan | First bottle: corked. Second bottle: good. Sweet, soft nose of yellow and red fruit. Round, plush palate. There is evident sweetness, which brings plenty of roundness and generosity to the wine. It does not need all the sugar for the fruit-and-acid balance, but it nevertheless suits the style. | 94
Simon Field | Pincushion bubbles and a faintly reductive nose; floral, elegant, and composed; beeswax and wet pavements; the palate is very complete, flinty, citrus, and long, wearing its sugar with careless rigor, of a fine and regal pedigree. This still has much more to give; impressive depth and potential. | 92
Tom Stevenson | First bottle: Corked. Second bottle: Fresh autolytic aroma, with delicious fruit on a generous palate and rich, caramel-raisined aftertaste. | 90
