RATINGS

96Burghound.com

Discreet, though not invisible, wood blends into the floral, citrus and almost pungently mineral and iodine-inflected... fresh, pure & refined... exceptionally fine detail... explosive & overtly salty finish... indeed this is a ?wow? wine.

93The Wine Advocate

A hint of yellow stone fruits, spices and apricots lingers on the finish...It is a striking effort.
