Essi Avellan | Salmon color with onion-skin hues. Evolving berry nose, with sour cherries and cranberries. Wild spicy tones, with burned sugar and dried apricot. Rich, vinous palate, with good concentration, nice tannic grip, and brisk acidic backbone. Developing and characterful, yet it will take time very well. | 95

Simon Field | Almost luminous amber bronze; a swirl of enthusiastic bubbles. The nose expounds primary and secondary notes, strawberry, fig, quince, and soft cherry all present, the party confidently assured. The palate rehearses gastronomic potential, the fruit is tightly wound and yet generous of inclination. Savory and sweet garlands are entwined on the winners’ podium. | 93

Anthony Rose | A classic onion skin in color. This is at the same time peppery and berry-like in aroma, showing an appealing, textured ripeness of tart redcurrant and cranberry in its fruit profile, combining, that is, berry fruit sweetness with a sharp berryish bite of salty acidity in a nicely balanced framework of crunchy berry fruit. | 93
