BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Nutty complexity over the aging nose of yellow apple and apricot. Smooth, fluffy palate with elegant restraint. Carries on in a creamy caressing way, with enough freshness and fine fruit length. 90

Alex Hunt: A saline, oystery style of blanc de blancs, albeit with malty oxidation lurking in the background. There’s nice drive, balance, and concentration on the palate, but the flavors lack a bit of purity and finesse. 88

Tom Stevenson: An underlying freshness with chalky minerality and a little oxidation peeping through. Good acidity. Drink while it’s a joy rather than keeping it too long. 88
