Essi Avellan | Pale salmon color. Seductively fruity nose with sweet strawberry, cranberry, and raspberry fruit. Lovely gentle charred toastiness surfaces underneath. Toastiness is stronger on the soft, pleasurable palate. Appealing sweetness of fruit and mouth-watering juiciness. Pure pleasure— easygoing but not simple. | 92

Simon Field | Onion-skin color, a playful and persistent mousse; the nose is equally attractive; rosehip, spruce, fig, and nectarine; finely judged palate; sugar, red fruit, developed spices (nutmeg comes to mind), and a hint of the savory; jambon cru behind the crushed raspberry; white pepper and stone fruit. Creamy and approachable, in no way overly indulged; pleasant now. | 91

Anthony Rose | Pale coppery pink in color, this smells sweetly strawberryish, and follows through on the palate with an appealing sweetish berry-like fruit flavor and fine texture, supported by good, fresh cranberry-like bite, the acidity bringing balance and a nice dry feel to the finish. | 90
