Nicolas Belfrage: Col code 2.5. Almost sub-tropical pineappley nose, but clean and attractive. Yeastiness there too. Somehow the palate is just that bit too dry, not for excess of acidity but for lack of fruit. Trying hard but not quite making it. 13

Michael Edwards: Shimmering gold, a real “robe”; luxurious nose, golden fruit melding with discreet honey and vanilla. The opulence of the wine is nicely checked with a fine ageworthy structure. Will hold well for some years. Excellent. 17.5

Franco Ziliani: Very bright yellow. Intense, complex nose with almond citrus, white flowers white peaches and aromatic herbs notes. Good intensity on the palate, ripe fruit, good length, more large than vertical but with an interesting medium body and a good persistence. 14.5
