Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Lovely purity to the fruit, which has cotton-candy and vanilla sweetness lingering around the lemon and white- fruit richness. Fine delicacy to the fruit and such a subtle toasty nuance. The palate shows some evolution, being really seductively creamy and mellow but refreshed by the exemplary acid line. Long, pure, and brightly fruity finish. | 92
Simon Field | Soft pewter on bed of nacreous indulgence; a gloriously inviting nose of praline, spice, and malt loaf; the palate is symphonic, generous of dosage for sure, but making up for it with a purity of fruit (melon, plum, and strawberry come to mind) and an impressive citric grip which forewarns of a sensuous evolution. | 91
Anthony Rose | Pale with green glints, this is an accomplished fizz which sets out with an instantly appealing aromatic complexity to it, light leesy notes combining with an appealing cashew-like nuttiness, while the texture is delicate and energetically effervescent, coating the tongue with an intensity of light toast and stone-fruit flavors, all supported by finely balanced, juicily refreshing acidity. | 95
