RATINGS

90Vinous / IWC

...pretty bouquet with scents of Granny Smith, Cornice pear and pressed white flowers. The palate is balanced with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry, slightly chalky in texture with good depth. It feels linear and "correct" with a brisk, punchy, brittle finish...

...notably more pronounced floral and citrus rind influences. The medium weight flavors possess a bit more overall size, weight and mid-palate density while offering a sleeker mouth feel on the lightly stony and appealingly textured finish. Good stuff...
