Essi Avellan: Deep lemon. Mild, soft nose of ripe fruitiness; could be more expressive. Mouthfilling, rich, even oily palate. Really rich but has enough acidity and nervosity to keep it going. Muscular and well built; still holding back a lot. 17
Andrew Jefford: Full lemon-gold. A rather confused aromatic profile that doesn’t really seduce. Fair on the palate, with drive, length, and purity; bright lemon and grapefruit, with a little finishing vanilla. There is plenty of ground stone here, too, and it’s actually a wine I’d love to drink; if only there was a little more aromatic enchantment... 16
Tom Stevenson: Relatively fat compared to others, good and bad, in this tasting, and a bit heavy on the finish. Not the best in terms of finesse, but it has weight. 15
