Essi Avellan | First bottle: TCA. Second bottle pristinely fruity. Very youthful, with creamy-complexed, subtly toasty fruit and a whiff of gunpowder. Lemon, peach, yellow plums, and white flowers. The palate is round and generous, softly bubbling, with a salty, mineral tang to it. Superbly clean fruit and sweet, appealing, and polished finish. Lovely radiance of fruit. | 95
Simon Field | Dreamy, hazy, pleasing, milky color and aromatic, with pineapple, mandarin, and well- integrated yeast to the fore; white peach, cumin, and verbena thereafter; the palate rehearses and then accentuates the best of these notes; mandarin and spice, soft pepper and quasi-exotic plush; a saucerful of secrets, indulgently entwined, but with great care. | 91
Anthony Rose | Pale lemony green in color, this is pleasingly fresh in aroma, with light underlying hints of nuttiness and a degree of lees-aged complexity which follows through on the palate in a nicely balanced fizz that’s refreshingly tangy, with a cleansing, dry finish. | 91
