RATINGS

99James Suckling

...also extremely fine and complex, with a cornucopia of stone fruit, exotic fruit and spices. Radical stony minerality and racy acidity, yet with a feather-light mouthfeel on the barely medium-bodied palate.

97Vinous / IWC

The palate carries gentle sweetness but is absolutely precise and slender. Citrus frames everything with the clearest precision. Everything is serene, zesty, tender, yet so very serious.

17Jancis Robinson

Finesse, balance, beauty and gorgeous complexity. Rich, honeyed sweetness and delicate citrus.
