BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Deep orange-hued color. A powerful nose of ripe fruit, confectionery, and yeasty notes. An evolving, round palate, with plenty of fruit but lacking a refining spine. Heavy and mouth-filling. Could do with more finesse and complexity. 15

Michael Edwards: Gold with bronze tints; oxidative nose of overripe apples in a hay loft; strong and fine on the palate. 16.5

Tom Stevenson: Bright gold color; a touch high-toned, a bit of floor polish, with the high tone returning on the finish. 12
