Essi Avellan: Fragrant, intense woody notes on the aromatic, powerful nose. Neither oxidative nor reductive. Intense firm fruit and oak-packed palate. Chunky but refreshed by a nice acidity. Big, bold, and vinous Champagne. 89

Alex Hunt: Very pale color, but a curious, rather thick, malty-apple aroma, and a very sweetseeming, soft palate. It tastes more of cake than Champagne, not helped by a lack of effervescence. 78

Tom Stevenson: Elevated fruit, with high-tone oak on the nose, palate, and finish. Lovely pincushion mousse. 87
