BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Bright lemon color. Appealing, soft nose, with an attractive white-fruit profile. There are floral touches to the nuanced aromatics. Orange blossom, apricot pie, and fruit drops. Finely intense fruit on the zingy palate of energizing nervosity. Long and appropriately juicy on the finish. | 93

Simon Field | Clumsy nose; seemingly reduced and leafy at the same time; mothballs and verbena. Nothing is what it seems, as Alice says, and nothing seems to come of nothing, as Lear believed. The palate is oddly dilute, a touch foursquare, and certainly bereft of the tension of aspiration. | 84

Anthony Rose | Mid-gold in color; there’s a touch of brioche and peachy sweetness to the aromas, which are on the shy side at this stage, while the peachy mousse is underpinned by an agreeable freshness of acidity, helping this fizz across the line in terms of balance and dry finish. | 88
