...clean and precise with apple blossom and light peach skin notes...palate is fresh and detailed on the entry, well balanced... Superb.

90Wine Spectator

Vanilla and toast aromas and flavors signal a good dose of new oak, while the lemon and apple flavors take a back seat for now. The bright acidity lingers, with an aftertaste of smoke and clove.
