Michael Edwards: Luminous, dramatic Welsh gold, a luscious wine outside most tasters’ spectrum of Soave: late harvest, hint of botrytis, with a hedonistic sweet intensity that stops you in your tracks. Unctuous, certainly sweet, but with a Talleggio cheese or foie gras an interesting alternative. A fine surprise. 17

Franco Ziliani: Very intense golden color. Ripe, or overripe, fruit nose, dried apricots, honey, almond, aromatic herbs. Rich, masses of fruit like a vendange tardive, large, with a great length and a surprising richesse. The wine is spectacular, rich, but doesn’t have the vibrant freshness, the acidity, the “salt” and the refreshing acidity you can expect by a great Soave. Good, but very strange! 15
