Essi Avellan: Deep golden colour. Open nose with soft appley fruit with waxy layers. Clearly oxidative nose. Rich, ample palate with drying finish. The fruitness is not pleasant and completely overtaken by its oxidative tone. 84

Alex Hunt: Bright gold color and a nose that similarly combines freshness with oat-biscuity development. Good density and definition on the palate; not that much fizz, but it’s a vinous style that doesn’t rely on bubbles for its structure. À point, I suspect. 91

Tom Stevenson: Nicely balanced yeast-aged fruit with a brut-brut finish, drying on an otherwise long aftertaste. 88
