Essi Avellan: Deep lemon color. Seductively toasty nose, with sweet pâtisserie. Elegantly perfumy/toasty. Lively, racy, crisp palate with balanced dosage and great fruit purity. On the reductive side but beautifully so. Elegant, still young, with potential. 18.5

Simon Field: Resinous, citric nose; hints of vanillin and orchard fruit in the background. The palate is gently honeyed, firmly acidic, and quite persuasive all the way through to the finish. 15.5

Tom Stevenson: Toasty, but somewhat light in the flavor department. Well balanced. 16
