Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon-gold. Deep autumnal nose of red apple and pastry; on the oxidative side. Fine acidity and intensity, but the oxidation overpowers the fruit. Winey and mouthfilling. 14.5
Andrew Jefford: Full gold with a steady mousse. Round, sweet, warm: mallow and balm. Deep, dry, taut; a little unyielding and cardboardy on the palate; very much a contrast to the unfocused sweetness of the aromas. 12.5
Tom Stevenson: Has intensity and one direction, but not elegance or finesse. 15
