RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...aromas of peach, pear, hazelnuts and dried white flowers...medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive...concentrated core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky extract.

94Vinous / IWC

...reserved, mineral-driven with hints of orange blossom emerging with time, later more Granny Smith apples...palate is strict and precise, demonstrating impressive weight, especially towards the back end.
