Bruno Besa | Pale gold to straw in color. Rich yellow-fruit nose, with apricot, peach, chamomile, and sage undertones. Round palate, with some minerality. A touch overripe on the finish. | 83
Andrew Jefford | Mid-depth of lemon gold. Simple, slightly must-like aromas; with the honeyed grain note common to some of the other Frascati wines. Virginia tobacco, unlit. Simple fruits. Lots of chunky, honeyed fruit on the palate; a chewy white, with more of those Virginia tobacco leaf and honeyed grain notes. I could enjoy this for its weight, which is balanced by some juicy acidity and vinous drive.| 87
Michael Palij | Pronounced intensity on the nose, with honeydew melon, Golden Delicious apple, dried honey, and peach. More substance in this wine, which carries through to the finish where some cinnamon and vanilla suggest a short spell of oak-aging. | 85
