RATINGS

92James Suckling

Pleasant aromas of fresh flowers, sliced lemon and green apple. Medium-bodied with zesty acidity. Bright. Great length and texture.

90Vinous / IWC

...opens with a spicy yet delicate blend of freshly sliced nectarines, ginger and minty herbs...soft-textured, opening with a tinge of minerality as hints of sour citrus contrast its ripe orchard fruits. Medium in lengthers off savory, leaving a resonance of flint stone, sour melon and lemon custard to fade slowly.

16Jancis Robinson

Floral, sweet yellow apple, fennel seed, fresh acidity, super-cheesy lees character – manchego.
