Overview

Essi Avellan: Medium-deep peachy color. Fresh, simple, ripe red-apple nose. Soft, spicy character with licorice. Fruity, with accentuated acidity and linear, firm structure. Long and fruity. 17.5

Simon Field: Bruised apple and peach kernel, with a gentle topping of vanillin, which translates into a dollop of sweetness on the palate; hitherto a little unresolved but promising a lot, such are the benevolence and quality of the underlying fruit. 16.5

Tom Stevenson: Very rich Pinot fruit spoiled by an oxidative note to the nose. 15
