...gorgeous, well-articulated bouquet resonates on the palate, where layers of crystalline fruit emerge with notable pedigree...shows terrific energy and focus all the way through to the finish. Hints of lemon peel, grapefruit and jasmine linger on the pointed finish.

Excellent. Just great nerve and density.
