Overview

Essi Avellan | Deep lemon-green. Soft, evolving, floral, rose-petal nose, with soapy whiffs. Full, oily, and round, lacking backbone and vibrancy. Neither complex nor refined enough to be great. | 15

Marcel Orford-Williams | Lots of color. Rich fruit, sweet, ripe, juicy. Fab finish. Needs time. | 16

Tom Stevenson | First bottle not attractive; second bottle the same. | 7
