Essi Avellan | Bright lemon color. Impressive, roasted coffee-bean and pastry nose, with fudge and dough. The appley fruit is underneath. Big, plush palate, with a round mouthfeel but an expansive mousse. Finishes a little short and austere. | 91

Simon Field | Straw color; a touch wan and still too soon after the pour; a nose of wild flowers, summer jasmine, and autumnal evenings, but too leafy in the final analysis, flint and smoke awkward rejoinders. The palate is easier, less clumsy, the smokiness ceding, however, to too much sugar, a masquerade of squandered potential and artless protocol. | 86

Anthony Rose | Mid-gold, with pleasant, sweet brioche and dried-fruits aromas, this is a well-balanced fizz, showing an appealing mousse shot through with stone-fruit flavors and light toast, and underpinned by a nice linear blade of cleansing acidity, bringing balance and freshness to a well-made fizz. | 92
