BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Lemony color. Soft, ripe fruity, appley nose, withatouch of toast and gunpowder. Round, fleshy body. Good width and enough freshness. Long, juicy, lemony finish. | 92

Simon Field | Fob-watch faded ochre, a lively mousse. Ludic, generous aromatic of kumquat, verbena, and almond. Behind that, there is a hint of vanillin and quince. The palate is broad-shouldered and citric-expressive, with whispers of sourdough and Victoria plum. The finely etched finish is compelling, challenging, and eloquent. | 94

Anthony Rose | Pale greeny gold in color and showing a good persistent mousse. This is fresh and still elemental in aroma, a little closed, and tight, not giving much away. The fruit in the mouth is rich and full-bodied, peachy and rounded in texture, balanced by sufficient acidity and even a certain phenolic bitterness on the finish to suggest good aging potential yet. | 92
