BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Reductive, beautiful gunpowdery nose with cool, crisp, sweet fruit of fine ripeness. Lemon, smoke, flowers... Promising and still youthful. Pristine palate, too. Super-pure and polished, muscular and fruit-packed. Has great further potential. 95

Alex Hunt: Bright gold in color and with lovely grilled-nuts reduction, this is a promising first impression. There’s still lots of (fine) fizz and a core of lemony flavor that keeps the palate cohesive. Slight bitterness on the end is the only downside; apart from that, it’s both indulgent and invigorating. 92

Tom Stevenson: Pale color with gunpowder reductive aroma that will eventually go toasty. Fresh, fine, yeastcomplexed fruit. Smooth and long. 89
