RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

...offers punchy, spicy aromas on the well-defined nose, hints of curry leaf and orange cordial...well-balanced palate is quite saline with a fine bead of acidity, a gradual build and convincing grip towards the finish... Superb.

93James Suckling

This is a blousy and rather opulent Garene with lots of ripe apple, wood, nougat and yogurt character. Some ash... Layered and flavorful.

90The Wine Advocate

Aromas of lemon oil, green apple and iodine are framed by light reduction...medium to full-bodied, tangy wine with an elegantly textural attack that segues into a tight-knit mid-palate and a pure, stony finish.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Lots of polish and intensity on the palate... Quite long.

The elevation is 300 to 380 meters.

TYPE
