Essi Avellan: Lemony color. Stylish, toast-complexed nose. Refined, with a delicate fruitiness and gentle earthy-spicy complexity. Soft, creamy palate, which finishes with a drying mouthfeel. | 88
Simon Field: Straw yellow with a flamboyant mousse and attractive aromatic; the chronicle of promise is somewhat undermined thereafter, as the acidity and sugar sit uncomfortably together. The finish is bitter and mournful. | 82
Tom Stevenson: Relatively little volatility, but alcohol showing through on the nose, and a crisp, lemony (Meunier!) finish. | 82
