Essi Avellan: Medium-deep color with peachy hues. Oxidative tones on the bruised apple nose masking all other fruit. Dry, balanced finish. 85

Alex Hunt: The color isn’t as deep as some here, but it is very flat-looking, without a hint of green. The nose, too, seems old and rather lifeless; the dominant palate character is of oaten biscuits. A strange, strident leafy bitterness on the finish is out of place. Pretty ordinary stuff. 78

Tom Stevenson: Another with a touch of oxidation! Not the villain that others are, and pale in color, but even a hint in a proportion of wines is a very disturbing phenomenon at this relatively early stage. 83
