RATINGS

96-97The Wine Advocate

Remarkably dense yet buoyant layering of citrus, quince, white peach, and formidably concentrated chalk, oyster shell, and iodine minerality. Citrus rind, quinine and fruit pit... practically searing finish

96+ Vinous / IWC

Scents of lemon oil, pineapple, mirabelle and white pepper. Wonderfully sweet and large-scaled...with a flavor of pure crushed stone. This boasts outstanding grand cru weight and a finish

96Burghound.com

Rich, mineral-driven and beautifully intense palate staining and mouth coating flavors brimming with oyster shell nuances on the penetrating, delineated, focused and bone dry finish.... Brilliant.
