RATINGS

93Stephen Tanzer

Bright aromas of lime, fresh apple, spice, honey and coconut. Dense and powerful,with fresh limey acidity giving the minerally flavors superb definition. Really exhilarating balance of sweetness and acidity. Very long, bracing aftertaste...

91-93The Wine Advocate

..full-bodied, concentrated, complex, oily-textured flavor profile is loaded with hazelnut cream, spices, minerals, and hints of red berries. As it finishes its elevage, I am certain that this superb wine will integrate all its components..
