Essi Avellan: Deep golden color. Truly oxidative. Second bottle slightly better. Super acidic. 75
Anthony Rose: Yellow gold and already quite evolved in color, perhaps with a touch of barrel fermentation here. This also shows a strong note of nutty, malty development on the nose, which also suggests a touch of oak. The palate is distinctive all right, with gooseberry fruit and a kind of old-fashioned goût anglais evolution that contrasts with its English tang. A Marmite fizz. 89
Tom Stevenson: Deep gold color—so oxidative! 70
