Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Clean, fresh aromas, some herbal/ medicinal. A bright, dry palate, with good backup of minerally, green-apple flavors. It all works well until the final throe in the throat, with hints of saccharine’s dolceamaro. But it rides that hump and finishes well and long. Apéritif or seafood- 15.5
Marcel Orford-Williams: Citrus peel. Dry but a little hard and ungainly. Finish, too, is just a little hard. Ultimately short- 13
Joanna Simon: Pale, bright. Sappy, fresh, green-apple nose. Full, dry palate, with apple and peach fruit and mineral and pepper notes. Concentrated fruit; quite weighty, with acidity to balance it, but a little alcoholic on the finish- 14.5
