Essi Avellan: Peach-hued color, with a foamy rim. Mild, sweetly fruity nose, with cider, spice, and marmalade tones. Earthy mineral tones are amplified on the dry palate, which finishes short and austere. | 85

Simon Field: Lifted and energetic, maybe a touch of sulfur; youthful, quite phenolic; a weight of fruit for sure, but it is an unsculpted block, sitting heavy in a corner of the sculptor’s studio. | 86

Tom Stevenson: Youthful, pithy fruit. Ready for drinking but without much Meunier identity. | 80
