Essi Avellan | Deep lemon color. Soft, sweet, evolving floral nose, with vanilla and rose petals. Full, with warming feel of alcohol and low acidity. Rich and weighty, with a fatty texture. Big, explosive, and obvious but lacks sophistication. | 14

Marcel Orford-Williams | None too clean. Apples. Musty. Better on the palate. Plenty of grip, even a touch green. Lots of flavor, with some complexity. Decent effort but no more. | 15

Tom Stevenson | Really quite complete and ready for phase one of its life. Lovely, sassy fruit beginning to bristle. More plums and other orchard fruits. | 18
