BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Fresh fragrant nose with floral tones. Attractive cool fruitiness with a touch of vanilla. Crisp palate with smooth texture and fine intensity. Playful, bright fruity style with elegance. 90

Alex Hunt: Pale, fresh color and a very youthful lemony-chalky nose; the palate shows great purity and cohesion. It’s not flashy or particularly complex, but there is lovely symmetry and a hint of reductive spark that lifts it. Neat and classy. 92

Tom Stevenson: Bright lemon-straw color, with restrained aromas at the moment, but superbly fine, extraordinarily youthful, yeast-complexed fruit on the palate. One of the few truly classy wines in our tasting. 92
