Nicolas Belfrage: Col code 3. Light gold color, unusual. Some oak on nose, or just vanilla, with layers of flavor and good acidity, suggesting ability to age well. Classic cru style, elegant, indeed excellent if just short of “outstanding” on basis of nose. 16.5

Michael Edwards: Sweet succulent yellow fruits, a flick of acidity, gives pleasure. 16.5

Franco Ziliani: Marvelous intense golden color full of reflects. Very complex and intense bouquet with some aromatic notes: dried roses and white flowers, citrus, almond, honey and some fruit peach and apricot notes. The palate is rich, fat, consistent, but sound just a little strange, without the freshness and the vibrant acidity of a good Soave. 15
