Essi Avellan | Deep-lemon color with golden hues. Stylishly age-complexed nose, with rich, creamy, and sweet pastry notes. Rather autumnal in profile. The fruit is predominantly appley, with a whiff of dust. A round palate, with fine acid line and juiciness. Very dry finish. | 90
Simon Field | Flaxen, with a gentle mousse; pale at the rim. Orchard fruit, with rose water, plum, and the faintest whisper of white chocolate. The palate is broad, yet reassuringly taut, flinty, but with an evocation of Alpine meadows and a hint of lanolin. A neat and compact edifice, the sugar a little intrusive, but sure to settle down. | 88
Anthony Rose | Pale golden hue; classic aromas of light toast, with an appealing praliney nuttiness, the fine, persistent bead of bubbles providing a delicacy of texture and gently toasty flavor, underpinned by a linear streak of citrusy acidity, indicating a good 5+ years of aging potential. | 93
