Tim Atkin: Mid-straw, showing some development. Leesy, fat, candle-wax nose. Complex, savory, slightly volatile, with bags of flavor. A little developed for a 2010, but complex and nicely balanced between sweetness of fruit, honey, and acidity. No obvious oak, but lots of texture and length 16.5

Nicolas Belfrage: 1 = color of water and 9 = deep gold: Col 2. Ripe pear/apple on the nose, balanced fruit on palate, with good followthrough. A food wine with plenty of potential, outshining the previous Arneis wines in terms of character 15

Alex Hunt: A kinky aromatic mix of plums and rubber. Some straw-like oxidative elements on the palate. Rich yet decently balanced, the wine is nonetheless quite simple and foursquare 14
