This has a nutty character with notes of walnuts, toasted almonds, dried apricots and figs as well as some bread crust and honeysuckle. Full-bodied with a dried fruit character. Vivid acidity balances the sweetness and brings a freshness to it. Polished and chalky with a clean and delicate finish.-James Suckling

Bright, dark amber. An oxidative note on the nose, nuances of dried apricots and walnuts and hazelnuts. Sweet, warming, salty on the palate, with a pleasant freshness, well balanced, long finish.-Falstaff

This moderately sweet white starts out soft and lush, firming up by the lingering finish. Delivers apricot, caramel and a hint of molasses. Trebbiano and Malvasia. Drink now through 2028. Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
