Overview

Essi Avellan | Deep lemon. Sweet, soft, petrolly/floral, mild, and refined nose. Full, voluptuous, velvet-smooth, with enough acidity to match the sweetness. Compact and zesty. Succulent and charming, drinking beautifully. | 18

Marcel Orford-Williams | Also a tad oxidized, but it’s better managed. Still don’t like it. | 13

Tom Stevenson | Intensity without finesse. | 14
