Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Soft, appley nose, with pastry-shop nuances. Apple pie, ginger, and vanilla. Plush, rich, yet energetic palate. Remains slightly singular, with an edge of rusticity. Medium-long, juicy finish. | 89

Simon Field | Attractive, yellow-straw color, and a nose of macadamia, quince, and Braeburn apples; the palate opens out indulgently; fig, lemongrass, and almond essence; agreeable if not profound, inherent ripeness somewhat at odds with what appears to be a reasonably generous dosage, despite its extra-brut qualifications. Appealing over the medium term. | 89

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, the nose is subtly restrained, showing a degree of biscuity complexity, a hint of prune, and clove spice, but still elementally youthful; in the mouth, there’s an expansive, mouth-filling mousse that carries a fine, toasty, rich complexity, and intense, ripe stone-fruit quality, all finely balanced and tapering gradually towards a finishing line of deeply satisfying, cleansing fresh fruit. | 95
