Essi Avellan: There is a layer of mild oxidative tone over a toffee- and hay-laden white-fruit nose. Intense and suitable fresh fruitiness on the mouth-filling but not heavy palate. Long finish, with rich, flavorful ending. 89

Alex Hunt: Discreet green-apple aroma, very neat palate—surprisingly so at 11 years old, so perhaps this will always be a rather self-contained wine. It’s balanced but modest. 87

Tom Stevenson: Typically 2006 rendition of slightly fatter blanc de blancs. Citrus, pineapple, and mango. 88
