RATINGS

91Vinous / IWC

...quite floral on the nose, with pressed yellow flowers almost obscuring the slightly tropical fruit...palate is well balanced with a rounded, honeyed texture, low acidity and a heavy dose of oak that dries out the phenolic and overtly spicy finish.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Deeper, creamier and more opulent and still with the right balance between zippy fruit and creamy oak.
