Bruno Besa | Straw with green highlights. Expressive, high-toned nose, with green apples, celery, fresh herbs, elderflower, and hints of minerals. Ripe palate, with clean white fruit and a long, herbs and minerals finish. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Bright and silvery. Creamy rather than fruity; some planty, crushed-almond depths. Pretty enough, though not intricate aromatically. Lots of cream and almond on the palate to balance out the vanilla and grape. Supple, lush finish: delicious. | 89

Michael Palij | Dull nose showing little varietal character, a massive great whack of oak, smoke and vegetal notes, a palate dominated alcohol and oak, and little drinking pleasure. Short and possibly sealed under twin-top. | 72
