BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Straw yellow color, with green highlights. Broad yellow-fruit nose, a touch rustic yet generous and fairly complex, with mature yellow fruits and a crushed-stones character. Balanced, mineral, layered yellow and citrus-fruit palate, with intense, fresh-herb finish. | 89

Andrew Jefford | Very pale steel-white. A very odd aromatic profile, akin to moldy citrus. Unpleasant and surely not as intended. | 78

Michael Palij | A complex nose, showing both spice (cinnamon, ginger, vanilla) and a more vegetal (green bean, pea pod) character. The palate shows a creamy spiciness that suggests some oak maturation. The finish is medium but is dominated by a phenolic edge. | 82
