Essi Avellan: Peach-hued medium-deep color. Lifted, oak-toned, overwhelmingly powerful nose. Sweet impression. Overoaked. Intense palate; would be great to see how it is underneath the sweet, oaky coating. 13

Andrew Jefford: Mid- to old gold; steady mousse. This one is a little bit obvious on the nose, with a little bit of DMS [dimethyl sulfide], which I find a turnoff. Coarse, careless nose. Rather acidulous and then dosage-balanced on the palate. 10

Tom Stevenson: Lovely, clean, fresh, lemony-toasty, yeastcomplexed aromas, with intense, super-clean, yeast-complexed fruit on the palate. 18.5
