Essi Avellan: Deep color. Ripe, soft, appley nose with honey, butter, and cream. Rich, sweet palate, with opulent ripe fruitiness. Muscular and chunky. Winey and calm, and comes with little aging capacity. 87
Alex Hunt: There’s an odd sour-savory edge to this wine, with tart acid and heavy dried-peach fruit unable to find a bridge in the structure or flavor that could unite them. Full-bodied, chalky, yet lacking in finesse, this feels muscle-bound and awkward. 84
Tom Stevenson: A youthfully light color with the aroma of double cream à point and smooth, yeastcomplexed fruit on the finish. 88
