Essi Avellan: Deep cherry-pink color. Soft, toasty nose, with vanilla and ripe red apple. Full, bland, pronounced palate, missing classiness and complexity. Clumsy and obvious. 13.5
Simon Field: A warm and inviting color, matched by wild strawberry and redcurrant aromas, with hints of secondary development, confirmed on the palate and thus providing a pleasing example for those who like rosé with a little development and the complexity that is born, for better or for worse, out of maturity. 16
Tom Stevenson: Pale to medium peach; a touch oxidative; good acidity, but not much flesh on the bones. 13.5
