RATINGS

91-93Stephen Tanzer

Vibrant aromas of candied lemon peel, flowers and crushed stone. Chewy, airy and classically dry, with an almost oily impression of extract to its flavors of citrus fruits and flowers. Fairly big and sappy wine finishes with lovely lift.

90The Wine Advocate

...emerges from the glass with seamless, generous fruit. It shows lovely harmony and balance in an understated style. A long yet subtle finish rounds things out nicely.

90-93Burghound.com

...full and very full-bodied and opulent flavors that retain a fine sense of detail on the slightly more complex finish that also currently displays a bit more overall persistence as well.
