RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

The palate is rounded and lightly honeyed on the entry, displaying moderate depth and concentration. At first it feels sultry and lacks energy; however, it develops more precision and race with time in the glass.

94Wine Spectator

Citrus rules the day in this opulent, lemony white, with accents of orange peel and kumquat at the core. Sharp and tight, leaving a clove- and vanilla-infused finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Rich start and really very broad and sumptuous. Throat warming. Great stuff!
