Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon. Characteristically oxidative and oaky nose—too much, masking everything else. Powerful, evolving, and spicy. Good intensity and length. Clearly ambitious, so a shame about the oxidation. | 86
Simon Field: Old-school, oxidative, figs and sweet meats, a distinctive style, sweet and modestly seductive. Overall, there is cacophony rather than calm, questions asked rather than answered, and a sense of minor betrayal. | 86
Tom Stevenson: Volatile aromas, oxidized fruit. | 74
