Essi Avellan | Deep, peach-hued color. Odd, pungently appley nose, with a lift to it. Comes across as singular and oxidative. The palate is tight and dry. Serious style, but it comes with a certain austerity. Seems mature already. | 85
Simon Field | An attractive straw-gold, flaxen and finely drawn; a soft, gentle mousse and attractive aromatic of Pink Lady apples, gingerbread, and grapefruit, behind that Brie skin and sherbet. The palate has a Palladian construct, balance in all things, stone-fruit and bready elements equally expressive, soft spice and a carefully administered dosage underwrite a serious intent, sui generis for sure and crafted with care and a sense of measurement. | 89
Anthony Rose | Mid-golden hued, this is a tad shy on the nose, although there is some evident light leesy development, and even a hint of berry fruit, while on the palate, the berry-fruit character comes to the fore in a very agreeably textured ripe middle, supported by good balancing acidity. | 90
