Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemon color. Soft, deeply fruity nose, with fragrant flowers and sugar-coated fruit. Rich but linear on the palate, which has a chalky, mineral bite to it. Fruit-packed and sweet in aromatics, even if the palate finishes very dry and palate-cleansing. | 90

Simon Field | Pewter going on gold; a certain indecipherable translucence; nose of plums, figs, and even toffee apple, the indulgence of the blend, the phenols pronounced yet seemingly pure; square-jawed and assertive, only the ripeness here slightly billows through the carapace. | 88

Anthony Rose | Pale gold in color, this is just a tad subdued on the nose, with just a hint of maltiness, and while there’s a good expansive mousse of bubbles, the flavors are still on the subdued side; but there’s fair texture and a lean streak of acidity for a pleasant, dry finish. | 88
