Essi Avellan: Pale lemon color. There is some charred toastiness complementing the yellow-apple and red-berry nose. Fresh, feisty palate, with accentuated acidity and fleshy texture. Perky and youthful style, but with some complexity, too. | 91

Simon Field: A darker color, modest filigree of bubbles, then aromatics that flatter but in a somewhat amorphous fashion; the palate is plump, pumped-up maybe, softly spiced, gently sweet, worryingly harmonious—a wine that has been made to within an inch of its life, but successfully so. | 87

Tom Stevenson: Deepish color, fresh, withatouch of volatile oak. Intense fruit, lovely, grippy, high acids. Long. | 86
