Essi Avellan: Medium-deep peachy color. Mild, lightly smoky with patisserie notes underneath cranberry character. Fleshy, fresh, and lively palate with a drying finish. Medium-long with well-balanced dosage. 15.5

Simon Field: Soft salmon coloring but with quite a forceful aromatic, with red fruit and quince to the fore and dried fruit and herbs in the background. The palate is surprisingly sweet—a shame, because the raw materials are somewhat undermined, and their inherent quality is a little muted. 14.5

Tom Stevenson: A bit foursquare and lacking, but nothing technically wrong. 14
