Essi Avellan: Lemon color. Something dull and bruised on the aromatics. Earthy and woody. Palate is better. | 85

Simon Field: Lively, oaky, expressive, and unabashed. Behind the bravura, there is a purity of red fruit, mirabelle plum, and soft spice—even a hint of red-berry grip, unfurling with measured discretion. A very clean finish, sui generis to a fault. | 90

Tom Stevenson: fine, rich aroma, with smoky-floral complexity. Lovely sapid fruit. | 89
