Overview

Essi Avellan | Deep golden. Ripe, evolving, layered nose with petrol on top of sweet opulent white fruit, vanilla, and lifted notes. Highly oily, oak-influenced palate of intensity and power. | 16

Marcel Orford-Williams | Rich, luscious even, though it finishes dry. Prefer the nose to the palate, which seems to have a tad too much sweetness. Might develop with time, though. Length is excellent. | 16

Tom Stevenson | Plenty of fruit, but a bit like a Chardonnay of Riesling! | 14
