Essi Avellan: Rich lemon-gold color. Spicy, fruity, exuberant nose. Honey, hay, and a touch of sweet botrytis. Not bad but seems overdeveloped for its age. Mature aromatics and loosing fruit on the palate. 87

Alex Hunt: Rich, developing, peachy nose. This really works; it has the body and power you’d expect for blanc de noirs but also a surprising succulence, which may be a vintage character, and entirely successful in this context. 92

Tom Stevenson: Yogurt aroma, but delicious, focused fruit underneath. Would imagine this could be impressive in a couple of years when postdisgorgement aromas overwhelm the lactic (yogurt). 88
