Essi Avellan | This one, too, has oxidation, but a sweeter, deeper feeling of fruitiness. Dusty aromatics but the balance works much better on the palate than the bone-dry version. | 87
Simon Field | Nectarine and hints of plum; red fruit evidenced and whistle-clean acidity. The palate is surprisingly challenging, linear and a touch ascetic. Maybe time is required here, but it’s hard to love now. | 87
Tom Stevenson: Definitely better with 3g, but it is still a bit austere. | 88
Dosage 3 g/l
