RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...notes of lime zest, crisp stone fruit, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise...

92Wine Spectator

A fresh, bracing version, offering lemon, apple and light spice flavors. Clean and expressive, this picks up a mineral element as it builds to a long finish. Fine intensity.

92-94Vinous / IWC

...very fragrant bouquet with yellow flowers flanking the sensual citrus and orange peel scents. Very harmonious. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed texture on the entry. A fine bitter edge counters the richness that defines the finish.

91+ John Gilman

The bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex blend of apple, pear, a touch of candied lemon peel, chalky minerality, a hint of straw, vanillin oak, beeswax and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and bouncy, with a superb core of fruit, fine transparency and grip, good acids and fine complexity on the long, focused and vibrant finish. Fine juice.
