RATINGS

99Wine Spectator

A wine to worship. Otherwordly, its different parts--structure, flavor, texture--are in total harmony. Super balance between the acidity, the fruit and the oak, with beguiling flavors of lemon, honey, pear and spice.

98The Wine Advocate

A sultry, ripe, enticing nose is compelling. Sweet, chewy, red berry fruits and roasted peaches build in the mouth to reveal unreal levels of power and intensity.
