Essi Avellan: Medium-deep peachy color. Full, rich, oaky, red-berry nose. Voluptuous palate, winey but with enough freshness. Good for this style, but the oak is overdone. 15.5
Simon Field: Onion-skin color and aromatics of forest floor, soft red fruit, and gentle herbs; the palate is surprisingly powerful, etched with bright acidity and elegant summer fruits. 16.5
Tom Stevenson: Oak intruding on heaps of pretty and very elegant Pinot fruit. 17
