Essi Avellan: Expressive, fragrant, toasty, and fruit-packed nose, with fireworks and licorice complexity. Promising and has a character of its own. Lovely evolution. Rich, round, soft, and caressing palate, with seamless integration. Fresh, fruity, energetic, and long, all pieces in place. 93
Alex Hunt: Fresh, but with sweaty-yeasty aromas. Not a lot of body to contain them. All too lactic, verging on the bilious. 82
Tom Stevenson: Lovely mellow intensity of yeast-complexed fruit. Rich, long, and focused. 91
