RATINGS

89-91Stephen Tanzer

Tangy aromas of ripe lemon, lime, anise and flowers. Conveys a creamy old-vines concentration that verges on unctuous, with lemon and mineral flavors saturating the mouth. Full and ripe but not at all exaggerated, this very long wine displays captivating sweetness and length and should give early pleasure.
