Essi Avellan: Deep lemon-yellow color. Rich, soft nose with pastry-shop and coffee-bean notes, as well as earthy nuances. Mouth-filling and round in texture, with more width than length. Straightforward red-fruit character and juicy, mouthwatering style. However, no great finesse or aging capacity. 16.5

Michael Edwards: Lemon tint to yellow; quite lively scents of acidity; lemon confit overlay to the briskly mineral mouthfeel. Good, pure, and straightforward. 16

Tom Stevenson: A touch “goaty,” by which I mean that there is a lingering, less-than-pure aroma that pervades the aftertaste. What this tells me is that this wine will break up earlier than others of the same vintage. 11
