Overview

Essi Avellan | Bright deep lemon. Elegant, mineral-driven nose, with light toastiness, hint lemon-meringue pie, and petrol complexity. Promisingly harmonious, multifaceted nose. Accentuated acidity on the linear, lean palate. Well-balanced alcohol. Less refined than the nose promised, but the minerality is strong on the finish, too. | 16

Marcel Orford-Williams | Clarity and precision here. Good length. Narrow. Incisive. Pretty fine. East-facing: Osterberg, maybe? | 17

Tom Stevenson | fine, fresh, citrus fruits that are focused but a bit short at the moment, requiring more bottle age. | 16
