Essi Avellan: Deep lemon. Impressively toasty and rich fragrant but refined nose. Full, succulent palate with smooth texture and fine fluffy mousse. Big and bold but not without elegance of complexity. Long and concentrated. 19
Simon Field: Softly tropical aromas, with hints of hazelnut and grilled almond—so far, so good. The palate does not disappoint, its citric core finely balanced by riper, more indulgent notes. An impressive interplay between balletic levity and structural weight. 16.5
Tom Stevenson: fine, floral autolytic aromas with bags of creamy-rich fruit that will go both toasty and biscuity. Rich, ripe, impressive. 18.5
