AK | Bold and burnished gold in the glass, continues with notions of sun-warmed straw-bales and slight meatiness on the nose. The palate is bright, also inflected with that same meatiness, but focusing on lemon brightness and citrus pith instead. The lemony verve here is luminous, and takes over, to the advantage of the entire wine, backed by very fine phenolics. 92
FP | Dark straw color. Nose of saffron and quince. A macerated white, rather than an "orange" wine, but very harmonious in its whole. This is fresh and lively, with the acidity providing the grippy sense of astringency, rather than any tannin. Good persistence on the long, honeyed finish. 92
DW | Clear, bright yellow-gold. Clean, gently honeyed, ripe apple, very racy and true, with some burgeoning creaminess; the merest hint of tannic bite and nothing in the least bit funky; a very incisive and tangy white wine with substance. 92
