RATINGS

92-94The Wine Advocate

...palate is very fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity and great salinity that combines well with the subtle spicy thread as it gently fans out on the finish like a Les Clos should, delivering that crescendo.

92Vinous / IWC

...has a complex bouquet: dried honey, smoke, oyster shell and light flinty aromas...palate is beautifully balanced with a slightly creamy texture...feels tense and poised in the mouth, the acidity nicely judged, veins of ginger and a little curry leaf towards the finish that fans out with a sense of confidence.
