"As is normally the case, the 2002 Ribolla Gialla is the more powerful and structured of the wines. Still very much reserved in its expression, it needs a minimum of another year or two in bottle to reveal the full breadth of the ripe fruit that is hiding underneath its tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014." "Intriguing nose of dried citrus fruit and clove honey. Full-bodied, with ripe fruit and a long, caressing finish. Feels more like a red than a white in the mouth, but delivers stylish character. Vinified in amphorae for seven months, with no added yeast or temperature control. Aged in oak casks for 40 months. Drink now. 1,700 cases made." -90 Points - Wine Spectator
