RATINGS

92Stephen Tanzer

Boasts lovely inner-mouth tension and finesse of texture, with its citrus and stone fruit flavors complicated by saline and bitter almond notes. Quite round for the year, conveying an attractive touch of sucrosité...

91-93Burghound.com

Otherwise there is excellent richness and vibrancy to the seductive and refined medium-bodied flavors that also exhibit an almost pungent minerality, all wrapped in stony, detailed and impressively long finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Spicy oak, cooked apple, steely and refreshing. Dry, profound and full of exotic flavour.
