Essi Avellan: Medium-deep orange-hued peachy color. Toast dominant, with gunpowder complexity and ripe white-fruit character. Smooth, velvety palate, with fluffy soft mousse and fine, mouthwatering succulence. Long and balanced. 18

Simon Field: Soft coloring and an attractive nose of nectarine, apricot, and a whiff of praline. The palate is powerful and expressive without being too raw or unformed; red-berry fruit vies for attention with elegant soft spice and a whisper of patisserie. No shortage of tannic support but finely judged and not intrusive. With time this will fascinate. 16

Tom Stevenson: Delightful old-gold color, some mellowness on the nose, promising a slow build of toasty aromas, with excellent intensity of fruit and acidity on the palate. This has true finesse, but it also has a greater future. 19
