Bruno Besa | Brilliant straw with green highlights. Closed, citrus-fruit nose. Firm, dry palate and a long, mineral finish. Will be better still after even a few more months in bottle. | 91
Andrew Jefford | Clean, pale silver-gold. Soft grapefruit and lemon pith, though no great wealth of aroma here. Firm and structured, frank and long; good concentration, poise, and drive, though little primary charm. Very serious mealtime white; fine drinking qualities, if not quite the allusive intrigue of most “fine” wine yet. The score is for its concentrated poise and in the hope that there is a satisfactory justificatory narrative. | 90
Michael Palij | Very obvious citrus fruit including lemon, lemongrass, yogurt, dough, peach, wet stone, and almond. On the palate, this is more convincing, with complex notes of citrus and stone fruit allied to formidable acidity. Excellent length. | 88
