BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Brilliant straw. A slightly closed nose, with yellow-fruit and citrus character, some minerality and hints of dried hay and aromatic herbs. Clean, rather simple palate, with a slightly bitter finish. | 85

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Ample, warm, pear-and-almond fruits; a more secondary style than the super- reductive norm. Some mealy depths, but the fruit is less well defined on the palate than hoped. | 83

Michael Palij | Mid-lemon, with ripe stone fruit (peach, nectarine, apricot) and toasty notes of dough, suggesting lees aging. The palate is marginally bitter but shows decent concentration of fruit and medium length. | 83
