Overview

Essi Avellan: Very youthful nose, pear and white flowers. No autolytic complexity. Neatly made but super youthful. Quite sweet at the finish. 85

Anthony Rose: Very pale in color, extremely youthful on the nose with apple and citrus undertones, almost Sauvignon-like, crisp and fresh and pleasantly dry, albeit a touch vapid on the mid-palate. 86

Tom Stevenson: For a young blanc de bancs, this is very good. Youthful, fresh, fruity aromas. Surprisingly creamy on the palate and finish for such youth. 90
