Essi Avellan | Deep golden. Full, powerful, evolving, vanilla, spice, and floral nose, with interesting layers. Full, oily, smooth, coming with a sweet feel and noticeable but under-control oaky note. Long, velvety, fleshy, and rounded. A beautiful acid line. Drinking well but still improving. | 18

Marcel Orford-Williams | Smoky nose. Weird tropical-fruit flavors. What is guava doing in a glass of Riesling? Shame, because it ain’t bad as such. Probably. | 14

Tom Stevenson | Very gluggy fruit, almost sandstone-like, but definitely herbal withatouch of fennel and basil. | 17
