Essi Avellan: Medium-deep cherry color. Soft, ripe cherry nose, with some earthy rusticity; same goes for the palate, too. Basic. 14.5

Simon Field: Youthful, plummy red-fruit aromas, then a finely tapered and very elegant palate, harmonious of edifice and with linear precision on the finish. Plenty of promise here, despite youth. 17

Tom Stevenson: Pale peach, withatouch of medium pink; lovely weight of fruit balanced perfectly by acidity and dosage, but there are some oxidative notes fl oating around, making me want to drink this now, not let it age any longer. 17
