Essi Avellan | Deep lemon color. Overt, rich, sweet floral-and-vanilla nose. Tight, compact palate, with oaky nuances. Evolved aromatics and round palate that has a fine acid line. | 16
Marcel Orford-Williams | Not quite as well defined on the nose. Touch of oak in the background, masking the fruit. Rich, bready fruit, quite sweet. Has power and width but is blunt on the finish. Not sure I see this aging that well. | 15
Tom Stevenson | Gentle oak aromas pervade both nose and palate, and there is a buttery touch on the finish; otherwise quite fine and precise, with fine acidity on the finish. | 1
