Overview

Essi Avellan: Sweaty unfresh nose, woody, with vanilla and flowers. Rich, ample palate, with a sweet finish. Fleshy and round, with a fluffy mousse. 85

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon, an attractive nose with some complexing nutty and toasty notes, nicely evolving palate of lightly toasty fruit, with a gentle, persistent, full-flavored mousse tapering to a crisp and elegantly dry finish. 89

Tom Stevenson: Extremely intense, almost a concentrate of blanc de blancs, with an essence of lime to the fruit. Very, very long. Astonishing! 97
