RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

Aromas of orange zest, peach, oyster shells, white flowers and freshly baked bread...full-bodied, layered and textural...impressive breadth and depth...exhibiting considerable concentration and concluding with a long, electric finish.

95Burghound.com

...combination of strong mineral reduction, cool citrus, shellfish and iodine scents...dense, opulent and powerful large-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the lemony and massively long finish... Superb...

93-95Vinous / IWC

...powerful bouquet with hints of white flower permeating the citrus fruit and apple blossom aromas...palate has wonderful salinity on the entry, a fine bead of acidity, citrus-fresh with clementine, hints of peach and a twist of bitter lemon that keeps the finish on its tippy-toes.
