RATINGS

95-97The Wine Advocate

...notes of citrus oil, white flowers, buttered popcorn, chalky soil tones, beeswax and spices. Full-bodied, multidimensional and layered, it's muscular and concentrated, with racy acids, an abundance of structuring dry extract and a long, resonant finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Smells both luxuriously deep – creamy, leesy, oatmeal – and intensely fresh... Balanced, full of citrus, very pure, and builds in the mouth. Very long finish.
