Essi Avellan: Pale peachy hues. Oaky notes on the ripe fruity nose. Very intense palate, takes the wood well. Bright fruit, very little oxidation. Long, pronounced finish, with succulent fruit and a brisk bite of acidity. 87

Anthony Rose: A pale coppery streak runs through this fizz, most likely a note of oak-cask fermentation, which manifests itself in a light vanilla spiciness on the palate, which is vinous with a mix of nutty and tangy notes on the finish. 88

Tom Stevenson: Hint of copper, candied Pinot-dominant fruit, with a hint of oak. Has the structure of a very fine sparkling wine. Although it has plenty of time on yeast, it needs more yeast-complexing. 87
