Essi Avellan: Medium-deep salmon color with a copper tone. Ripe, stewed berry fruitiness with a touch of spice. A mild oxidative tone to the fruit. Rich, sweet, fruity palate; on the winey side but comes with nice acidity and calm soft mousse. Quite mature aromatics already, but palate has energy and drive. 88

Alex Hunt: Pretty oeil de perdrix color, pretty red-fruit aroma—but something of old vegetables on the nose, too—a bit muddy. The palate is very dry, and this seems to emphasize the earthy notes. Not a great expression of pinkness. 82

Tom Stevenson: Medium copper-bronze color, tasty plum and orchard fruits, some yeast-complexed aging on the finish. Good brut aftertaste. 88
