Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Floral potpourri nose, perfumed and youthful. Pungent, powerful, mouth-filling oily palate, with warming alcohol. Unrefined, full of force. | 13

Marcel Orford-Williams | Pungent. Not especially pleasant. Trace of TCA, maybe? Old apples. Dry, mean, austere. I don’t like it. | 13

Tom Stevenson | Truly dry, but a bit flat; lacks vibrancy and the verve expected from Riesling, whatever the soil. Coffee grinds and fennel. | 14
