RATINGS

92-94Vinous / IWC

...crisp, taut bouquet of white peach, lemon peel and wet limestone aromas...palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, revealing a tang of marmalade and quince toward the lively, focused finish.

91-93The Wine Advocate

...aromas of fresh pear, waxy citrus rind, warm bread and blanched almonds...medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with impressive cut and a chalky finish.

16+ Jancis Robinson

Golden apples and savoury herbs on the nose, there are flecks of sweet acacia to this complex, heady bouquet. Pithy lemon and sweet pear on the palate. Lovely fresh, zippy acid that adds real refinement and poise. Long and quite toasty on the finish.
