Essi Avellan | Glossy medium-deep lemon color. Rich, expressive nose with a slight lift to it. Some autumnal, buttery and appley tones. Moderate toasty undernotes. Rich, generous palate, with an expansive mousse. Very dry finish, cutting off some of the length. A touch oxidative, which brings rusticity. | 88

Simon Field | Straw-bright, lively mousse; linseed, slightly sappy nose; quince and a hint of bracken; the palate is full, firm, and positive; verbena and spring flowers, sourdough and a hint of brioche; full-figured without flabbiness, joyful of the rites of youthful, gently oaked indulgence. | 91

Anthony Rose | Pale golden hue, expressively rich aromas combining notes of farm butter and light toast with a degree of nuttiness, very inviting; delicately textured mousse, with a Chardonnayish butteriness and fine, incisive blade of acidity for a satisfying dry finish. | 94
