BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Pungently floral nose with a lot of lift to it. Unpleasant. Simple, strong, sweet palate. Lacks refinement. 84

Anthony Rose: Pale in color, the nose here is verging on the aldehydic; there’s some mid-palate sweetness and the bubbles are fair if rather tart and pinched on the finish. 82

Tom Stevenson: An enjoyable English sparkling wine that has plenty going for it but lacks precision. 84
