RATINGS

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Very subdued limey nose exudes a honeyed superripeness with aeration. Powerful on the attack, then quite penetrating and high in limey acidity.

90Robert M. Parker Jr.

...fresh and lively aromas of dried honey & marzipan, as well as a wonderfully opulent character...medium-to-full-bodied, bright, and velvety wine gorgeously reflects its vintage's combination of ripeness & high levels of natural acidity.
