Essi Avellan: Deep golden color. Overt nose of soft red fruit, vanilla, and sweaty characters. An unclean palate, with a round texture but no spine. 12

Michael Edwards: Lemon yellow. Fine, evolved Chardonnay aroma: lemon confit. A very together mouthfeel; fine, vital fruit profile; a real core of flavor on the mid-palate. Generous but with admirable tension. 17

Tom Stevenson: Big, malolactic nose, all cream and butter, with a touch of “goat.” 11
