Bruno Besa | Brilliant straw. Open, lemongrass and quince nose, mineral, with some Mediterranean herbs. Mature, clean, citrus-fruit palate, with moderate length. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Steel white-green. Fresh and rather raw in style, with some green cardboardy notes when first broached. This does, though, open up a little in the glass, with some orange notes. On the palate, it is vivid and fresh, rounded and balanced, poised and long. A convincing Vermentino of depth and substance, even though it doesn’t have a lot of allusive articulacy. | 88

Michael Palij | Nose shows little obvious fruit but some tinned mandarin, orange peel, and candle wax. The palate is obviously acidified and short, without any intensity of fruit. | 81
