RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...palpably dense palate whose herb and fruit matrix incorporates bitter peach kernel and Seville orange, along with crushed stone and a sense of herbed chicken stock...

91Vinous / IWC

Elegant aromas of guava, smoked almond and lemon oil. Taut cling peach and a salty minerality form layers on the palate. Dense but delicate wine with a bright, spicy finish. Very refreshing.

17Jancis Robinson

Attractively sour, pithy aroma. Rounded and spicy on the palate but less so than the 2011 and finishes with marked tang. y/sour freshness.
