Essi Avellan | Glossy lemon color. Fine, fruity nose with lovely gunpowder and vanilla whiffs. Subtle and polished but comes with complexity. Richer and more pronounced on the palate. Concentrated, with loads of delicious fruit. A big, bold style but successfully so. Plenty of expression already but will improve. | 94
Simon Field | Lifted and lively, a little SO2 for good measure, banana and plum skin, chocolate and verbena; phenolic and rich, a gem awaiting discovery; powerful and assertive; citrus and red fruits happily ensconced here in a virtuous cycle of pleasure. | 92
Anthony Rose | Mid-gold in color, this is attractively berry-like and vivid in aroma, with a satisfyingly dry foaming mousse that spreads evenly across the tongue with its berry-fruit flavors enveloped in a marshmallow softness of texture, and turns into a salty, blackberry-like, dry bite on the finish. | 92
