BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Overt, ripe (almost overripe) fruity nose, with baked apple and apple jam complemented by a whiff of pastry complexity. Rather onedimensional, direct nose. Succulent, high-acid, lemony palate with vivacity. Seems more complex and fine on the palate. Good length, full of fruit. 89

Alex Hunt: Fine, lemony aroma with good depth and purity. This has a really consistent palate, mirroring the nose with balance and aplomb. The acid is nicely aligned with the flavor, there’s subtle but persistent fizz, the finish is long and refreshing. Very classical. 93

Tom Stevenson: Fresh and tasty, with a touch of fatness midpalate. Soft mousse, easy-drinking. This is one that will go toasty. 88
