Essi Avellan | Deep lemon-gold color. Soft, stylishly toasty nose with heaps of pristine fruit underneath. Dried apricots, peach, vanilla, and yellow apple. Fruit-forward, but a little singular on the round and fleshy yet fresh palate. Long, juicy finish. | 91
Simon Field | Mute citron color; a nose of Brie skin, soft plum, and yellow flowers. The palate is rather diffuse, surprisingly short, the initial pleasure of exotic and citric fruit mitigated promptly by an overly prominent dosage and a lack of integrity on the finish. Workmanlike, for all that. | 87
Anthony Rose | Mid-gold, this is attractively fresh and aromatic, with light biscuit and peach notes in the aromas, followed on the tongue with a well-judged, full-flavored mousse full of peachy flavors underpinned by light toasty notes and juicy, balancing acidity—all understated but ultimately well proportioned. | 93
