Essi Avellan: Deep lemon-gold color. Generous, overt, super-ripe nose, with spicy fruit and pastry complexity. Round ample palate in line with what the nose promised. Weighty, almost oily but has enough acidity. Big Champagne but has built-in complexity and power. 91
Alex Hunt: Not old, exactly, but a rather light, dusty nose. The palate is gentle and has more character, particularly peach and apple fruit, and an attractive mousse. Rounded, harmonious, à point. 88
Tom Stevenson: Light-to-medium lemon-straw color. Fresh, zesty-citrus fruit. Really youthful for an 11-year-old wine. Another keeper. 90
