BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Pale straw. Fairly elegant, clean, mineral, restrained pear and apple nose, with some aromatic herbs and hints of toasted nuts. Light yet intense cooked apple and grapefruit palate, with a long, lively, mineral finish. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Pale to mid-gold. A suspicion of blossom and nuts, but little more. Vivid and clean on the palate, without a lot of allusive force, but there is some concentration here and even a little tannin. An appealing white. | 87

Michael Palij | Clean, fresh, correct with medium-intensity aromas of pear, white peach, and honeysuckle. The palate has a touch of residual sugar and a chalky finish, but there is fruit, too, with stone fruit and floral persistence on the palate.| 82
