RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

..The well-delineated aromas are enticing and attractive (copious quantities of honeysuckle,anise and minerals). In the mouth, the wine offers a fabulous array of white flowers and deliciously roasted fruits. This full-bodied, refined wine

90Wine Spectator

A pleasure to taste. Full-throttle, quite racy and backed by a core of citrus, well-integrated toasted bread and smoke flavors. The ripe and oily texture envelops the palate. Long, tartish finish.
