Overview

Essi Avellan: Fragrant, floral nose with odd cream and varnish notes. Strange. Very acidic. 77

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon, showing little on the nose. The palate starts out rather sweet and sour and continues in that vein creating a rather unbalanced sweet-and-sour effect that’s one-dimensional. 84

Tom Stevenson: Rubber and acidulated fruit, but it is not as bad as that sounds! 74
