Overview

Essi Avellan | Deep lemon-gold. Pronouncedly aromatic and noticeably sulfuric nose. Sweet white-fruit and white-currant aromas. Very sweet on the palate, but the acidity takes it well. Long, intense, and characterful. | 16

Marcel Orford-Williams | Very smelly. Sulfides. No idea what unfortunate rock gave birth to this. | 10

Tom Stevenson | Herbal aromas, lacks focus and precision. | 13
