RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

Exhibiting notes of pear, green apple, toasted hazelnuts, fresh pastry and white flowers...medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a rich but vibrant profile.

89-91Vinous / IWC

...well defined on the nose...palate is well balanced with good weight, quite pithy and lightly spiced, touches of lime and Conference pear towards the finish.

88-91Burghound.com

...exotic aromas of lemon, apple and straw. The delicious and plump, even caressing, flavors retain very good punch on the mineral-driven, intense and citrusy finish that is exceptionally dry...

16.5Jancis Robinson

Just a whisper of oak on the nose. Refined oiliness of texture and some of that green vegetation perceptible...
