BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Pale straw with green highlights. Fairly intense, mineral nose, with quite refined white fruits and aromatic herbs. Firm, intense, complex palate, with lively minerality and a long yellow- fruits-and-sage finish. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Steel gold. Aromatically, this is a little heavy and weighty, without much freshness and lift. It’s quite weighty on the palate, but I like it a little more here, as some vivid and ripe acidity carries the weighty fruit (apple, grape, lemon) very well, making for a lively and vivacious palate. | 88

Michael Palij | Attractive nose showing elderflower, honeysuckle, tinned peaches, and apricot. On the palate, this wine has persistence, with delicious stone-fruit aromas of nectarine, peach, and apricot. This has a long finish and the acidity and fruit work well together. | 86
