Essi Avellan: Pale lemon color. A fragrant and floral nose, with significant autolytic toast; sweet and charming. Fine and elegant on the palate, too, with a lightness of body and delicacy of flavors. Elegant, fluffy mousse and juicy texture, with a fine length and focus. Enjoyable today, and while it does not have the intensity for extended aging, it will hold nicely for the next 5–7 years. 18
Michael Edwards: Straight yellow; poised, citrussy character—fruity but with vinous complexity. An excellent effort. 17
Tom Stevenson: Smooth, apples, but a bit pippy. 13
