Essi Avellan: Deep orange-hued cherry color. Rich, toasty, evolved, lifted nose. Fleshy and mouth-filling but singular. Winey but clean and fresh. 15.5
Simon Field: Amber foxy coloring and a pure, very fruity nose dominated by peach, plum, and red apple. Palate is attractive and balanced, sugar and phenols dancing an unusually amicable pas-de-deux. 17.5
Tom Stevenson: Tawny pale peach color; this wine has a slightly oxidized nose but fresh, crisp fruit, and I rather like it despite—maybe even because of—its faults. 17
