Bruno Besa | Pale straw with green highlights. Clean and intense, with fresh herbs, yellow flowers, and hints of crushed stones. Lively yet slightly simple on the palate. Clean, with moderate length. | 86

Andrew Jefford | Steel-white and glinting. Vivid and articulate aromas in which orange and green plum fruits meet a fresh yeastiness and a rich, almondy warmth, too. Attractive and intriguing. There is some sappy fullness here, too, though it is apple, lemon, and quince (rather than orange and green plum) that dominate. Richly fruited nonetheless: ample delivery. Excellent, youthful Ribolla. | 90

Michael Palij | A much more serious nose than others in its flight, with lovely oxidative notes suggesting maturation in oak, including smoke, ginger, caramel, toffee, passionfruit, dog rose, pear, and honeysuckle. The palate is textured—reflecting the winemaking—but also shows sufficient fruit to escape being mannered. Sound and enjoyable. | 85
