RATINGS

...pretty white flower & floral aromas though there is plenty of mid-palate density... rich, round, intense & powerful... good minerality, buckets of dry extract & fine balance with almost painful intensity & superb finishing persistence.

91-94Stephen Tanzer

Lemon, quinine and strong oak spice on the nose. Then sweet and wonderfully intense, with captivating flavors of crystallized lemon peel, grapefruit, crushed stone and spring flowers.

90-92The Wine Advocate

Big, bold, and rich, this spicy wine is silky-textured and medium to full-bodied. Bitter lemons (a positive), candied limes, spices, and flint compose its complex flavor profile.
