Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color, with some evolution. Soft, yeast-complexed nose, with charred tones. Spicy, appley fruit. Tart palate, with expansive, slightly coarse mousse. A richly fruity, generous, evolved style. | 90

Simon Field | Straw-yellow, bright but modest of hue; a gentle mousse and nose of soft oak, cashew and orange blossom; an attractive palate marked by the juxtaposition of notes of mirabelle plum, summer flowers, soft spice, and hints of tangerine. Oak tightens the palate, its full expression hitherto denied, save for the agreeable citric and peachy notes, themselves bolstered by more exotic nuance of tangerine and pistachio. An impressive piece of work; even if one has only, Theseus-like, started to unthread the message. | 90

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, this has immediate aromatic appeal, showing sweet praline and light toasty notes, an apparent oak hint, too, followed in the mouth by a full-flavored yet delicate mousse of fine bubbles delivering lovely, toasty, nut and butterscotch flavors, supported by well-balanced acidity that tapers to an appetizing, dry finish. Classic Chardonnay-driven blanc de blancs. | 95
