96The Wine Advocate

...gives alluring aromas of ripe, honey-drizzled peaches, pink grapefruit and lightly toasted bread with perfumed suggestions of crushed stones, cashews, orange blossom and honeysuckle.

93Wine Spectator

Intense and focused, with plenty of toasted herb and cedar notes providing an aromatic lift to the core of marmalade, pear, spice and honeysuckle shadings.

92Stephen Tanzer

Subtle, vibrant aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, flowers and spices, plus hints of lemon oil and white pepper.
