RATINGS

95+ Stephen Tanzer

Knockout perfumed, high-pitched nose of dusty stone, iodine, talc, lime skin, menthol and licorice. A wonderfully dense wine with outstanding intensity and grip.

The purity of expression here is nothing short of riveting with the classic assertive mineral character that suffuses the character of this wine from the incredibly detailed nose to the wonderfully long, palate staining finish. Superbly well balanced with rich, harmonious, complex, very firm flavors all framed and highlighted by the solid, ripe acid backbone that causes this to finish dry but not at all hard. In short, this is breathtakingly good.
