Overview

Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon. Pungently yeasty, flor-reminiscent nose. The yeasty, oxidative character has taken over. Too dry and austere on the palate. 11

Andrew Jefford: Pale gold; fine, snowy mousse. Scents of pear cordial or cider made with eating apples and not cider apples: striking, enjoyable, but not subtle. Palate idem. Not a huge success, frankly. 11.5

Tom Stevenson: Very smooth in the mouth, but spoiled by aldehydic aromas. 13.5
