RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...brilliantly, delivering notes of orange oil, crisp orchard fruit, iodine, white flowers and oyster shell, followed by a full-bodied, ample and enveloping palate that's racy and saline, concluding with a long, electric finish.

95-96James Suckling

So flinty and mineral, with crushed stones and a wealth of lime peel, grapefruit pith and some white peaches in the mix, as well as strong, refined oyster-shell and iodine-like aromas. Super savory, though, with lemon pastry and almond meal. The palate has a very supple, smooth build of acidity, elevating white-peach, lime-sorbet and crushed-stone flavors.

94Vinous / IWC

...outstanding nose for the vintage, very well defined with light nutty and smoky aromas. The palate is quite saline on the entry, displaying fine tension.

94Burghound.com

...nose is composed by restrained aromas of mineral reduction, floral, pear, apple and iodine scents... cool middle weight flavors is almost delicate though this texture contrasts considerably with the lingering and strikingly complex finish...
