Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon with peachy hues. Mild, soft, unexpressive nose. Peach and floral tones. Very dry, calm palate that could use some vivacity. Pungent, dry finish. 14

Andrew Jefford: Mid old gold, with a steady discreet mousse. Rather heavy, sullen aromas; doesn’t quite lift off into freshness. Concentrated, though; evidently high-quality fruit taken to generous levels of ripeness, making for an almost chewily rich Extra Brut, long and structured, full of ripe orchard fruit, and qualified by a dose of mineral salts and a shake of stone. Excellent on the palate; with more finely crafted aromas, this would have won a very high score. 16

Tom Stevenson: Very fresh, with a soft and silky mousse. 14.5
