BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Glossy lemon color. Stylish, evolving nose, with nuanced fruit. A little pastry, brown butter, Golden Delicious apple, and baking spices. Plush, voluptuous palate, with age-mellowed creaminess. Concentrated, with a long-lasting, sweetly fruity finish. In a lovely drinking age but no hurry. | 90

Simon Field | Bright, clean, luminous yet pale at the rim; attractive, all in all; nose of flowers and spice, the gentle fizz nonetheless persistent and powerful; citric lemongrass and hints of toffee, nectarine and acacia; well judged, with a most pleasing persistence. | 89

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, this is intriguingly rich and complex, yet still remarkably fresh and at the same time savory in aroma, one that gets the saliva juices flowing; on the palate, its freshness is in no way compromised, thanks to a bright, vivacious acidity, and at the same time the intensity of fruit and complexity shines through, etched with that bright acidity but supported and balanced by toasty, lees-aged development, in such a way that while it’s more than ready to drink now, it has a decade or longer of aging potential. | 96
