Essi Avellan: Deep, golden peachy color. Unpleasant, wax-and-hay nose, with strange floral tones. Very pungent on the wide palate. Heavy and unrefined. 10
Simon Field: Deep color, and a resoundingly unattractive nose of last season’s flowers. Palate is better, but the sense of decay never entirely vacates the premises. 10.5
Tom Stevenson: Old straw, oxidative, unbalanced. 10
