RATINGS

96James Suckling

Very attractive and fresh aromas of wet stones and fine limes with youthful peaches and green mango. The scintillatingly long and powerful palate is pinned in place with bracing acidity and has unwavering length of peaches and citrus fruit. Breathtaking finish.

95Vinous / IWC

The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed entry, fine acidity, weight and concentration and a saline finish.

94-97The Wine Advocate

...very serious indeed, unfurling in the glass with notes of yellow citrus fruits and white flowers that mingle with hints of crushed chalk, framed by smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with searing concentration, chewy dry extract and bright acids, concluding with a long, authoritative finish.

93-96Burghound.com

There is once again excellent volume and concentration as well as markedly more minerality if somewhat less powerful broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine mid-palate density, all wrapped in a gorgeously long, complex and strikingly harmonious finish.

17.5+ Jancis Robinson

Refined and zesty. Lovely fresh acidity plus weight. Great race and richness... Long and impressive. Juicy fruit with a green streak.
