Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. An evolving nose, with sweet, toffee-laden fruit. Vanilla, apple, and honey. Some oxidative tones. Sweet, powerful palate, with a creamy mousse and soft, vinous finish. | 88

Simon Field | Straw gold, heavy on the latter in its Byzantium indulgence; a vinous indolence when it comes to the mousse; hazelnuts and winter jasmine (should such a thing exist); cashmere-plush, but not oxidized, not yet anyway; late-season windfall, Siegfried Sassoon elegiac, something profound yet unstated. Oh, for a little more fizz here! | 91

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, this draws you in from the start with expressive aromatic power and complexity, displaying a combination of dried stone-fruit intensity and biscuit and brioche on the nose, following through to a finely balanced, textured mousse, which shows equal elements of stone-fruit flavor and leesy complexity, all finishing with its bright fresh acidity on a satisfyingly cleansing dry note. | 94
