Essi Avellan: Bright orange-hued salmon color. Sweet jammy fruit on the nose, berry coulis, leather and spice lacking bright fruity tones. Winey palate verging on heavy. Long and concentrated but lacking freshness and elegance. 87
Alex Hunt: Strange nose—spirity-sweet, like Pineau des Charantes. The palate is actually nicely balanced and fresh, much calmer than the nose, and with some gentleness and delicacy. A nice rosé, if you don’t dwell on the nose. 86
Tom Stevenson: Very fresh and tasty, but quite simplistic, with yeast-complexing barely showing itself on the finish. 87
