Essi Avellan: Overt, soft, evolving nose, with spiciness and pastry tones laying over appley and waxy fruit. On the oxidative side. Round, winey palate, with one-dimensional toffee-laden fruitiness but good freshness. Long finish playing on the lemony acidity. 86

Alex Hunt: Bright gold color, but very evolved and malty on the nose. The palate lacks the zip to counteract this rather earthy cereal flavor, giving a clumsy effect overall. 78

Tom Stevenson: Interesting, complex, yeast-aged fruit, but a touch maderized-oxidized. 85
