Essi Avellan | Richly colored hue. A characterful nose, with interesting yeasty tones, floral whiffs, and yellow-apple and mirabelle plum fruit. Spicy, woody complexity. Really structured and vinous on the palate, showing some age already. Fine transparency, but it would be enhanced by even greater elegance. | 91

Simon Field | Generous color here; sandy, hints of ochre; an assertive, slightly stentorian nose of honeydew melon, fig, and elderflower, rhubarb and griotte; unresolved, hitherto, oak at the prow. The palate brings into play caramel and preserved salted lemon; camphor, cumin, and late-season apples, more exotic notes behind that; guava, pineapple, and mango. Encyclopedic in aspiration, and well on the way to justifying its intent; youthful ambition will blossom for sure. | 92

Anthony Rose | Pale golden hue, this is rich in aromatic energy, with notes of popcorn and butterscotch, suggesting a proportion of barrel fermentation. While on the palate, the texture is rich with underlying buttery notes framed by an almost surprisingly soft acidity, thanks to an evolution that suggests drinking over the next three to five years. | 94
