Essi Avellan: Floral tones on the reserved nose with toffeeapple tones. Refreshing acidity brings welcome life to the palate. A bit one-dimensional with a light oxidative tone. Succulent fruitiness, though. 88
Alex Hunt: The paleish yellow color belies a rather tired candied-peel-and-nut aroma. The palate bridges the two, with a balanced fizz and assertive acidity, as well as good body and length but also a certain bitterness. 87
Tom Stevenson: Very bright, white-lemon color, with creamymalo notes on the nose and fresh, zesty fruit on palate. Needs a meeting of minds, and I think that three years’ cellarage under perfect storage conditions should do it. 89
