RATINGS

96Wine Spectator

This is intense, revealing layer after layer of nuance. Citrus blossom, hazelnut, anise, lemon custard, apricot, smoke and mineral flavors mingle with the firm structure and creamy texture.

94Burghound.com

Despite the presence of moderate reduction, the nose offers an elegant mix of wood spice, fresh and wonderfully nuanced high-toned white flower aromas and just a touch of exotic fruit that precedes sweet, rich and notably powerful flavors.

Engaging...nose, smoky and haunting. Very fine boned...firm and bone dry, savoury and appetising. You could drink it now but it still has great tautness...expect it to flower into something even more complex. Really great dry white wine.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Rich aromas of smoke, butter and hazelnut. Rich and pure but youthfully austere...
