Essi Avellan | Bright lemon color. Stunningly toasty and charmingly sweetly fruity nose. Such complexity and finesse. On the palate, it is polished and creamy, with licorice and vanilla layers. Long taste in perfect harmony. Succulently fruity, with some evolution but youthful still. | 95

Simon Field | As is often the case, a modest color belies a wonderfully expressive nose; the small but persistent mousse offers a clue, but, even so, the olfactory surprise is impressive; figs, nougat, plum, and honeydew melon. Votive and richly indulgent, hints of linseed and even coconut oil also evidenced. The pleasure principle is in no way forsaken by a palate that combines the rich, indulgent promise of the nose, with oaky grip and impressive concentration of fruit. If the charm is somewhat ethereal, dissipating promptly, this in no way undermines the glimpses of wealth thereby carefully restored in the memory. | 90

Anthony Rose | Pale lemon, with greeny glints, this is expressive and complex in its aromatic power, showing its lees-aged autolysis with an almost struck-match note of high toastiness, in Puligny-Montrachet vein, and that follows through in the mouth with an expansively rich, mouth-fillng mousse, underpinned by leesy, matchsticky notes, tapering to a dry finish spliced with lemony freshness. | 94
