BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Deep peach color. Straightforward and fruity nose, with apple pie, red fruit, and wax. Very tart palate, with accentuated acidity and simplistic fruit, which is not completely tied to the structure of the wine. No great potential, due to the dominant acidity. 14

Michael Edwards: More yellow-gold. Quite raw and aggressive mousse on first bottle. Second bottle is better and gentler. 16

Tom Stevenson: This one needs a couple of years in your own cellar. (Don’t buy if you do not have any to settle down.) It’s more a matter of mousse performance (softening and evening out) than anything. Scored for potential. 17.5
