BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Lemon color. Ripe, fruity, autumnal, and appley nose, with oxidative tones. Earthy-spicy and evolving. Tart, appley palate, with bruised fruit. But good tension and perky bubbles. | 91

Simon Field | Old Welsh gold color, winking with potential nonetheless. Clean nose: flowers, almonds, and soft Digestive biscuit. The palate teases with notes of chamomile and sour honey; flint and buttered toast. Slightly fragile of structure but not lacking for inherent merit and approachability. Figs and roasted almond on the finish. | 91

Anthony Rose | Mid-gold in color; rich, smoky toffee apples in aroma. Underlying (oak) nutty element, then an intense apple and appleskin fruit quality follows, underpinned by nutty oak in a finely textured and full-flavored, lightly toasty mousse, whose trenchant bite and bittersweet phenolic grip makes for a tangy, refreshingly dry and persistent finish. | 96
