Michael Edwards: A golden hue; barley-sugar scents; rich full-on palate but everything holds together in a ripe adult vinous style. Gastronomic wine - good with mushrooms and truffles. Second bottle a little fresher. 16

Franco Ziliani: Golden, very intense and brilliant color. Ripe fruit peach and apricot on the nose, with almond, citrus, honey, almond and aromatic herbs, with a salty mineral freshness. Very rich, ripe, consistent on the palate, with a good length and warmth, large, fruity but also with a salty savory mineral complexity. Very young with an interesting ageing potential. 16
