Overview

Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon-green. Restrained, lemony nose with smoky minerality. Sweet feel on the finish; finely balanced alcohol and freshness. Vibrant and pleasurable. | 17

Marcel Orford-Williams | Good nose. Full-flavored, dry, and rich. Complex and long, savory, spicy. Great fruit. | 16

Tom Stevenson | Rich and fruity in a pure, focused style. A wine that leaves an imprint on the palate but really needs time in the bottle. | 18
