Essi Avellan: Pale lemon. Lovely tamed fireworks whiffs on the pristinely yet subtly fruity nose. Vanilla-laden white fruits. Slightly coarse mousse but otherwise very correct. Excellent, fresh lemony fruitiness and long, invigorating finish. 92
Alex Hunt: Pure, lively, appley nose, with an appetizing note of grilled nuts. Good body and power on the palate, while retaining finesse. Dry, vinous style with plenty of energy left in reserve. 93
Tom Stevenson: Pale lemon and starbright, with pristinely fresh, yeast-complexed, citrus-aroma nose and palate. Classic lean structure, nicely focused fruit tapering to a clean brut finish. 92
