BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Mild, delicate nose with leesy softness. Yellow apple fruit with pastry undertones. Surprisingly sweet and obvious on the palate, with soft mousse. The nose promised more. 85

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon shot through with a golden streak, clean and fresh on the nose, if on the bland side. Pleasantly crafted bubbles with nice refreshing acidity, albeit somewhat lacking in personality overall; a nice drink that you don’t have to think too hard about. 86

Tom Stevenson: Cleverly constructed blend with some reserves, I would think. Freshness and complexity. Richness without weight. Satisfying mouthfeel. Lovely mousse. Drinking perfectly now but should age gracefully for a few years. 90
