RATINGS

91The Wine Advocate

Greenhouse-like aromatic amalgam of leafing and flowering things; reveals an expansive yet juicily refreshing lime- and quince-filled palate; and finishes with salinity, overt chalkiness and peppery pungency

91+ Stephen Tanzer

High-toned lemony nose. Broad, elegant and sweet, with pliant, distinctly chalky fla vors of citrus peel and white flowers. Bright but harmonious acidity contributes to an impression of elegance.

91-94Burghound.com

Nose of white flower and citrus nuances is enhanced by white peach and spiced pear notes that are in perfect keeping with the extremely rich and full-bodied flavors blessed with buckets of extract that renders the firm core of ripe acidity
