BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Mid-straw. Musky, aromatic, and well balanced; honey and some spice, touch of ginger, good acidity; nicely balanced, rich and textured. Very classy Fiano, some orange-peel zest and zip. Good length 17

Nicolas Belfrage: 1 = color of water and 9 = deep gold: Col 2. Interesting biscuity-bready style of less intensity, however, than previous. I would happily drink it but wouldn’t enshrine it 14

Alex Hunt: A very creamy, crème caramel overtone to the typical peachy-foxy Fiano fruit. There’s an appealing fluidity to the palate, but the combination of low acidity and warm flavors detracts from the potential elegance 14.5
