Essi Avellan | Deep yellow. Oxidative overtone to the appley fruity nose. Spicy and autumnal. Rich and intense palate, with a drying finish and a phenolic bite. Accentuated acidity brings tartness. | 89

Simon Field | Straw going on gold, luminous and generous. Honey and exotic fruit: kumquat, pineapple, and Victoria plum; peach kernels, Digestive biscuit, and a whiff of jasmine somewhere in the distance. The red grapes give the palate a savory, almost tannic, grip. Notes of smoke, fig, and dried fruit complete the composition with satisfying dexterity. | 93

Anthony Rose | Mid-gold in color. This is delightfully complex in aroma, showing not only ripe stone- fruit characters but also toasty rich autolysis notes and hints of sweet cashew-nut oak. And first impressions are confirmed in an expressive Vintage blend that is intensely concentrated and full-flavored, the lively bright mousse showing seductive toasty notes behind sumptuous ripe peachy fruit and complexing nuttiness. Still tight, with plenty of aging potential. | 98
