Bruno Besa | Straw with golden highlights. Restrained, layered, nutty nose with mature citrus fruit and hints of minerals and Mediterranean herbs. Lively citrus-fruit palate, with a layered, mineral, clean finish. | 89
Andrew Jefford | Pale silver. Weighty, rather heavy and tired, or so the aromas seem; unenticing. Some strange, estery flavors here, and a weighty but rather unrelieved palate overall, lacking allusive nuance, though perfectly drinkable. | 85
Michael Palij | Now moving into a very obvious plateau of drinkability having shed its primary character, this has notes of cheese curd, butter, ginger, toffee, and candle wax. It’s rich and aromatic, though it remains in the secondary phase. | 83
