Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon color. Stylish, gently toasty nose of soft fruitiness. Less interesting on the very dry palate. Crisp and firm but lacks fruit character. Medium-long with citric finish 14.5
Simon Field: Attractive nose of yellow fruit and wet pebbles after light rain. Palate is linear, with gentle red fruit in perfect counterpoint to the underlying citric descriptors. Harmonious in terms of both dosage and acidity, the wine impresses by its length and its colors 16
Tom Stevenson: Fresh, sherbet-like fruit, with fleeting counterintuitively citrus notes. This is not classic blanc de noirs, but it’s not unenjoyable, either 16.5
