Essi Avellan | Bright lemon color. Pristinely fruity nose, with a subtle toasty expression to it. Crisp and crunchy, but still perfectly ripe fruit. Peaches, yellow apple, pear, vanilla, and mirabelle plums. Highly polished, with the creamiest mousse to it. Caressingly textured and attractive, with a long, super-fruity finish. Youthful still but starting to give a full expression of itself. | 96

Simon Field | Pewter gold; a nose of lemongrass, straw, and spring flowers, the future underwritten by honeyed potential; honey, lemon, plum, and verbena; an elegiac, attractive nose and palate, long and eloquent, pleasingly resourceful. Stone- fruit potential. | 89

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, there’s a note of plum and light toast on the nose, while on the palate, a ripe stone-fruit purity is cut by a lively fresh bite of trenchantly fresh acidity in a very well-balanced blend combining both fresh fruit purity with a degree of nutty complexity and trenchant bite on the finish, making for an attractively vinous Champagne. | 92
