Essi Avellan: Evolving nose with pastry notes and ripe apricot and apple fruit. Succulent on the palate, with a soft, slightly foamy mousse. Quite straightforward, though. Medium length, with slightly obtrusive sweetness. 86

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon hue. A distinctive nose, showing some biscuity development allied to hedgerow fruit. There is a good full-flavored richness of mousse, which expands nicely on the tongue before tapering to a balanced, appetizing dry finish. 88

Tom Stevenson: The structure and balance are fine, but an aroma of cigarette ash pervades both nose and palate. 74
