Essi Avellan | Bright lemon-green color. Fine, evolving complexity to the nose. Pristine white-fruit profile, with pear, pineapple, and peach complemented by lemon and lime. Less complexity to the palate, but fine, zingy, crunchy fruit. Long and sweetly fruity, succulent finish. Still youthful, with plenty of fruity appeal. | 93
Simon Field | Soft straw-gold color; small, almost ineffably discreet bubbles; nose of nectarine, lemongrass, and a hint of white chocolate; the palate is immediately attractive, citric fruit parrying with more exotic elements; spruce and even a hint of licorice. Thereafter the prose resumes: figs, sloes, and a hint of diacetyl... This one is nice enough but maybe promises more than it delivers. | 89
Anthony Rose | Pale lemon with green glints; a hint of honeycomb on the nose; quite rich and ripe on the mid-palate, with a nice tanginess of crisp acidity and a grip on the finish that needs food. | 90
