BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Soft, leesy nose, with baked apple, candy, and vanilla; a touch of oxidation. Brisk palate, round and flavorful, where the acidity lingers. 84

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon in color, distinctive nose, more like a still dry white with a hint of solidsy nuttiness going on. A malty, nutty note on the palate, nicely mouthwateringly dry, with clean and juicy appley fruit and tangy finish. 87

Tom Stevenson: Bottle stink and oxidation aromas. Second bottle also has a touch of bottle stink, so it is more intrinsic to the wine than what that usually infers. No oxidation aromas, but it tastes as if the sugar was added yesterday, which of course it was not. Just too many questions... 70
