Essi Avellan | Medium-deep salmon color. Expressive, with sweet-berry fruit. Little toastiness, but there is a spicy edge to the fruit. Structured palate, with a phenolic bite. The finish could be longer and juicier. | 89

Simon Field | Deeper color, soft russet, a hint of amber and magenta; the nose betrays sous-bois and hearth-side rather than fruit per se; fatigued before it has even started? The palate is equally enigmatic; autumnal sepulchral intimations refuse to be requited by savory nuance and the diminuendo is more sinister than anything else. | 88

Anthony Rose | Coppery bronze in color, this shows a degree of complexity in its aromas with a light nutty leesiness behind the berry-scented aromas, and there’s fine-textured, rich berry fruit on the palate, which is very well balanced and shows both fruit and complexity in a very well-judged, intensely flavored pink Champagne that finishes on a complex and tangy, dry note. | 92
