Essi Avellan: Deep golden-hued color. Highly oxidative nose, all about bruised fruit. Toffee and apple in a dull form. Firm, full-on palate that finishes super-dry, cutting the length. Lacks charm. 80

Alex Hunt: Quite a deep golden color, and a fully developed, tertiary aroma of malt loaf. Richly flavored but not heavy on the palate, with a nicely balanced fizz, this wine is not complex, but it is satisfying. The finish is fresh and moreish. 88

Tom Stevenson: First bottle dark and clearly oxidized (50 points, faulty). Second bottle worryingly oxidized albeit less so. 50
