RATINGS

95Stephen Tanzer

Knockout nose hints at lemon, flint and powdered stone, complicated by saline and chalky nuances. At once savory and deep, showing a strong saline character to its flavors of minerals, flowers and subtle stone fruits. A wine of outstanding incipient complexity, solidity and length, with the chalky mineral finish stimulating the salivary glands.

94The Wine Advocate

...orange zest, apricot, flint and even a touch of freshly picked strawberry streaming from the glass. The palate is vibrant, brimming over with energy, tensile and long with great precision on the finish.

91-94Burghound.com

An airy, elegant and pure nose is comprised by pretty aromas of pear, apple, sea breeze and citrus elements along with hints of iodine and mineral reduction. There is outstanding richness to the full-bodied, round and sappy medium weight plus flavors that also possess a slightly dry but long finish where a hint of leesy character surfaces.

90Wine Spectator

Round and creamy, with a hint of vanilla overlaying the lemon cream, green apple and mineral flavors. This finishes a little more angular, showing a citrusy tanginess.
