Essi Avellan | Medium-lemon color. Nuanced nose, with prominently appley and spicy characters; also dried apricots, honey, and earthy notes. Vinous, ripely fruity, concentrated palate. Structured and oily smooth, with long, firm, yet fruity finish. Nicely structured and monumental but could do with a little more finesse. | 92

Simon Field | Softer color, dawn after the mist has risen; a fine mousse and a distinctive aromatic of pine nut, verbena and mirabelle plum. Thereafter the palate opens up indulgently, and one wonders if the sugar added may have compromised the promise previously demonstrated; a very agreeable wine for all that! | 89

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, the nose is fresh, alluring, and complex, with ripe stone fruit dominating, leading to an attractively rich foaming mousse of persistent bubbles that deliver ripe peachy fruit in abundance and a light complexing veneer of toastiness, adding delicacy to a finely judged, savory blend that finishes on a mouthwateringly tangy, dry note. | 93
