Essi Avellan | Glossy lemon color. Expressive nose showing some evolution. Yellow apple, lemon, peach, orange blossom, and hazelnuts. There was more softness and appeal to the nose, whereas the palate is very dry, showing some contrast. Still fine plushness of fruit and generosity, with balanced but sufficient acidity. | 91

Simon Field | Precise nose of verbena, flint, and nectarine; the color is modest, the bead tightly wound. Great persistence on the palate, yet with a lacy filigree delicacy and a power unusual in a blanc de blancs, its phenolic subtext naggingly persuasive. | 91

Anthony Rose | Pale golden hue, showing a degree of popcorn and nutty evolution in its aroma, with a light brioche note; nicely balanced, ripe stone-fruit mousse, supported by a lively, bright acidity, tapering toward a clean, dry finish. | 91
