Essi Avellan | Overt nose, with pronounced appley tones. Oxidative notes. Rich, yet comes with feisty acidity on the linear, nervous palate. A little tart, even, on the finish. | 89

Simon Field | Very soft green-gold, quite pallid. This reticence prefigures compensation from the nose; sourdough, biscuity, generous, and primed. The wine has figgy complexity, a hint of white chocolate, and an inherent spiciness. A resourceful and very complete wine, the vinous attributes only enhanced with time in the glass. A slow burn of inherent pleasure. | 91

Anthony Rose | Mid-gold in color. This is intense and complex in aroma, showing, beneath some subtly underlying nutty oak, light toasty notes of autolysis. The same complexity is there when you taste, an expressively full-flavored, rich quality of Chardonnay fruitiness underpinned by nutty oak and honeycomb notes. These are enlivened by an energetic, saline mineral note, bringing plenty of potential for aging. | 97
