Essi Avellan | Deep gold. Stunning, fragrantly toasty, come-hither nose. Roasted coffee beans, dried apricots, vanilla, and crème brûlée. Delicious and ever-changing melange. Super-sweet fruit on the creamy-silky palate. Impressively intense and clean. Really long and super-fruity palate, with fine freshness. | 96
Simon Field | Pleasing soft gold color, hints of buckwheat and straw; the mousse draws quickly; nose of lemongrass, strawberry, and fig, with a hint of almond essence and soft plum juice behind; pleasingly savory and with a suggestion of jambon cru and wild strawberry, this is a very accomplished and pleasingly enigmatic piece of work. | 91
Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, this fizz displays an attractive balanced aroma of fruit and light toastiness, and this follows through on the tongue with an expansive, mouth-filling mousse whose fruit flavors are supported by a nutty-lees-aged, toasty complexity in a fizz that’s really well balanced and refreshingly bone-dry. | 94
