BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Deep lemon-gold. Full, evolving, floral, but with strange chemical notes. Dirty, chalky notes. Uninspiring. | 12

Marcel Orford-Williams | Lovely. Crab apples here. Could be Rheingau. Fine fruit, long. Delicious. | 17

Tom Stevenson | This is a strangely interesting brew. Should turn toast, a bit like a Hunter Valley “Riesling” of old, which was not Riesling, of course, but Semillon aged in non-malolactic bottles. It tasted like Riesling, of course, but with an increasingly toasty aroma, as this one will. I rather like it. | 17
