Nicolas Belfrage: Col code 2. Pungent aroma. Burgundian style but very good flavor/acidity balance. Burgundian elegance and penetration. Oak aging, presumably, but not obvious in flavor, more in style. Very fine wine, not particularly Soave but not a million miles removed. 16

Michael Edwards: A full late-picked style of Soave, unctuous but acceptably so, the richness making up for some lack of mineral strength and precision. 15

Franco Ziliani: Marvelous intense golden color full of reflects and very young. Outstanding mineral elegance and a very complex rich bouquet: a perfect mix of peach, apricot, and almond notes, dried mountain herbs and flowers, a hint of honey and spices. A very big, intense wine. Perfect balance on the palate, the wine is rich, intense, full-bodied, with masses of fresh fruit, citrus notes, a vibrant acidity and a creamy consistency. Good length, intensity, richness, and a fantastic fresh, lively finish. 17
