RATINGS

91Vinous / IWC

...intense, voluminous bouquet of yellow flowers, white peach and crushed stone aromas...palate has a rounded texture on the entry...pure and quite persistent finish.

90The Wine Advocate

...notes of citrus oil, green pear, wheat toast and pastry cream...medium to full-bodied, seamless and fine-boned, with racy acids and a delicate core of fruit. Pretty and elegant, it's one of the more ethereal wines in the range.
