Essi Avellan: Deep lemon color. Refined, clean nose of lemon and white flowers alongside dominant tart apple character. Restrained, focused, and highly acidic palate is vivacious, with a good degree of tension. Medium-bodied with some elegance, medium intensity, and long length. Good but not great, due to tartness, tightness, and lack of expression. Will improve for the next five years, but there are no building blocks for extended aging. 17

Michael Edwards: Green-flecked yellow; sweetly ripe fruits are the main impression on the nose; harmonious balance of evolved fruitiness and acidity, still with some tension. 16

Tom Stevenson: A fabulous combination of unbelievably fresh, youthful, undeveloped Champagne, yet beautifully smooth with huge potential. Impressive. Great acids. Complexity comes out in the glass. 19
