RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Terrific from start to finish, this white starts out with lime blossom, apple, citronella and mineral aromas and flavors. Creamy yet fluid, intense yet airy, with harmony and a long aftertaste of citrus and stone.

93The Wine Advocate

The palate has a slightly honeyed entry and it is more exotic than the nose suggests with hints of orange rind and sour lemon dovetailing into lively chalky textured finish.

92Vinous / IWC

Reticent but pure aromas of lemon peel, mirabelle, orange flower and stone. Supple, lush and pure, with a fine grain to the flavors of white peach and spices.

91Burghound.com

...displays notes of white peach, apricot and pain grillé trimmed in pretty citrus notes. There is good concentration to the sappy and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors where there is a real sense of volume and dry extract.
