Essi Avellan: Soft, supple nose with caramel, spice, and some earthy and forest-floor tones. Round, almost oily sweet palate that is helped by the feisty, tart acidity that kicks in toward the end. Lacks finesse and layers, though. 87

Alex Hunt: This nose manages to be both eggy and muddy—not the best start. The balance on the palate between acid, body, and fizz is really good; it’s just the flavor that doesn’t seem to be well tuned. More focus and lift is needed to balance the lively acidity. 85

Tom Stevenson: Starbright light lemon color. Yeast-complexed aromas on nose and aftertaste, with fresh, zesty fruit mid-palate. Excellent. 95
