Essi Avellan: Medium-deep peachy color. Sweet nose of confectionary and peach. Clean, juicy, and fruity palate, with fresh, appetizing finish. Unaggressive mousse and acidity. Pleasant and easy-going. 17.5

Simon Field: Attractive nose of summer flowers, sour honey, and yellow fruit; honest and appealing. The palate has the weight of mature fruit and extensive bottle aging, with autolytic notes lending interest and quite a grippy, rich finish. 16.5

Tom Stevenson: The dosage is showing a little on the nose, but not at all over-dosaged on the authentically brut palate, thus will tame down given a little more post-disgorgement aging. Lovely acids enhance the long, beautifully focused finish. 18
