RATINGS

89-91The Wine Advocate

...hints of wild fennel infusing the citrus fruit, complemented by orange peel and smoky aromas. The palate is balanced with crisp acidity on the entry. The acidity is well judged here and it counterbalances a touch of viscosity towards the finish, which is armed with lovely peach and freshly sliced pear notes. Delightful.

89-92Stephen Tanzer

Aromas of orange, quince and spices. Fat, spicy and sweet, but with good buffering salinity.
