Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon. Fresh, fragrant, and floral, even candied, fruit-forward nose. Appears sweet on the mid palate even if the finish is very dry. Long, intense and fresh, but not very complex or elegant. 15.5
Andrew Jefford: Pale gold; gentle mousse. Crushed chalk, green apple; a discreet aromatic profile; sappy. Deep, searching, plunging, scouring fruits, but ripe withal. A long and penetrating finish. Intense, edgy, nervy Champagne; almost nettley; but good. 16
Tom Stevenson: Pale color. Lovely, fresh, apple-purée aroma, but more pineapple on the palate. Rich without being heavy, and refreshingly clean of any oxidative or aldehydic aromas. 17.5
