Essi Avellan | Lemon color withatouch of peachy evolution. Pronounced, spicy, evolving nose, with woody complexity. The fruit comes across more strongly on the palate, which is verging on winey. Silky smooth, and it certainly has enough freshness. Showing mature already, but there is no hurry. | 90

Simon Field | Matted straw; a playful mousse, soon dissipated; a nose of preserved lemon, concrete, and wild flowers; the mousse quickly timid; phenolic and citric grip on the palate, pleasure deferred by the high natural acidity; aldehydes prompt the question as to whether this deferral will actually be permanent. | 88

Anthony Rose | Mid-golden hue, a tad subdued on the nose; initially the bubbles are quite aggressive as they strike the tongue, while a herbal undertow brings a tartish green-apple bite to the mousse, which, initially expansively foaming, subsides toward a dry finish that’s pleasantly well balanced and fresh, if not particularly expressive. | 88
