RATINGS

94James Suckling

This has the feel of a red wine with layers of fruit and phenolics that give it tannin tension. Full-bodied with dried apples and lemons with stone and mineral highlights.

90-92The Wine Advocate

...pretty bouquet of pear, peach, white flowers and almonds giving way to a medium to full-bodied, succulent but open-knit palate...

90-92Vinous / IWC

...displaying more breeding and complexity...palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity that cuts through the passion fruit, lemon zest and pineapple notes. A dab of lemongrass emerges toward the persistent finish. Excellent.

15.5Jancis Robinson

Pineapple and fleshy pears on the nose. Thick, rich and warming on the palate with opulent stone fruits and sweet smoke. Peppery, heady and nutty through to the finish.
