BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Rich, evolving nose, with generous toasty exuberance. Pristine fruit underneath. Coffee, lemon tart, and Viennoiserie. Rich and sweet on the plentiful palate of great intensity and length. Charming style and at a lovely drinking age. | 94

Simon Field | An attractive iridescence as one turns the glass toward the light. A persistent mousse, playful yet serious, and aromatics that recall the kitchen garden, the orange grove, and the orchard just before harvest. Complete, compact, complex, and harmonious, to break the alliterative spell; the acidity is complicit in the quest for excellence, but without too much by way of excess or indulgence. | 95

Anthony Rose | A mid-gold in color with greeny glints. This has an intriguing complexity of aroma, combining all the desired elements of autolytic toastiness, sweetly smoky honeycomb, praliney nuttiness and peach in custard cream fruit. The same complexity follows through in the mousse, which is toasty and tangy behind a sumptuous fruit quality and buoyancy of texture, all beautifully balanced and ageworthy. | 98
