RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

...extremely stony aromas of wet gravel, white rocks, lemon blossom, lime balm and crème fraiche.

94Jeb Dunnuck

Ripe aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine, mango and apricot jam on toast. It’s full-bodied and buttery with tangy acidity to balance out the concentrated ripe-fruit and toast flavors.

93Vinous / IWC

Oak-tinged peach nectar, poached pear and marzipan on the expansive nose. Broad and chewy on the palate, offering densely packed orchard and pit fruit, vanilla and buttered toast flavors sharpened by a hint of candied ginger. Finishes long and smoky, with a resonating pear note and a refreshing jolt of bitter lemon pith.

91James Suckling

Ripe aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine, mango and apricot jam on toast. It’s full-bodied and buttery with tangy acidity to balance out the concentrated ripe-fruit and toast flavors.
