BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Gorgeously toasty nose, with roasted coffee beans, hay, fireworks, and vanilla. Really pristine yet ripe fruit, with a reductive profile. Balanced palate, with intense yet soft fruitiness, creamy texture, and fine freshness. Easy to drink and appealing. Shows some mellowing but very youthful still. | 94

Simon Field | Soft silvery luster; luminosity, with an attractive mousse; ludicrous in its best sense. Plum skin, hints of verbena and bracken, and then a subtext of impressive, salty macadamia. The palate is still very youthful, with a spicy, almost vinous appeal; quinine and almond essence and a playful, still youthful, sweetly joyful mid-palate. | 91

Anthony Rose | Pale-lemon hue, with greeny glints to it; pleasantly aromatic, some struck-match, leesy notes, attractive stone-fruit flavors, more on the fruity than the complex side, with a nice juiciness of texture, a degree of complexity, and good, tangy, dry finish. | 90
