BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: Col code 2. Back to the yeasty minerally style, almost Marmite on nose. Some elegance on palate with good acid-fruit citric character but bitter twist on finish which slightly detracts. 15

Michael Edwards: Middle way between an unctuous late picked style and a late-picked style of primary fruit. Good, persistent acidity and evolving secondary flavors of spicy vinosity. 16.5

Franco Ziliani: Golden pale color, very brilliant. Very elegant, fresh, lively nose with citrus, candy citrus, dried roses and some aromatic notes completed by a clear mineral salty character. Very fresh, full of energy on the palate, with a vibrant, salty, mineral fresh acidity that gives length to the wine. 16
