...beautifully delineated middle weight flavors brimming with a fine minerality on the driving, even explosive finish that is supported by a firm acid spine. I very much like this as there is a lovely sense of both tension and finesse...

92Stephen Tanzer

Purer aromas of citrus fruits, stone and spices; good mineral lift contributes to the clean impression. A step up in purity and intensity on the palate too, with vibrant orange, peach and crushed stone flavors showing a lovely combination.

90Wine Spectator

Needs air to reveal its lime blossom, apple and mineral aromas and flavors. Still taut and vibrant, with a lively structure, ending with a lingering shimmer of citrus and stone.

17.5Jancis Robinson

A little reduced. Then great richness and pleasure. Round and ripe yet wonderfully savoury and structured. Should provide lots of pleasure.
