RATINGS

91-93The Wine Advocate

...exhibits scents of pear, toasted almonds and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, bright and chalky, it's deep and concentrated, with a mouthwatering, delicately oak-inflected finish.

90-92Vinous / IWC

...well-defined on the nose with light orange rind and very subtle muscat-like aromas...palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced opening. There is a fine bead of acidity here given the warmth of the growing season, hints of praline and almond shaving towards the composed finish.
