Essi Avellan: Overt, soft nose of ripe white-fruit profile. Gentle spiciness and appley fruitiness with toffee. Under-control oxidative profile. Fresh, fruity palate with soft mousse and good energy. Rather singular fruitiness and moderate length. 88
Alex Hunt: Bright, pale straw color. There is plenty of lemony-mineral freshness here and a delicate but persistent bubble. The finish is a little on the sweet side, and there is more winemaking than grape character overall, but it’s a good wine. 88
Tom Stevenson: Complex, post-disgorgement aromas dominating the nose, with baked-pastry aromas transferring onto the palate, which is fresh and energetic, with a sweet, ripe, mouthwateringly tasty brut finish. 89
