...round, rich and moderately powerful flavors blessed with good dry extract and lovely balance on the focused, intense and impressively persistent and dry finish.

91Stephen Tanzer

All ginger, nutmeg and crushed rocks on the perfumed, high-pitched nose. Then intensely spicy, juice and pure in the mouth; tighter than the Blagny today-less fruity and more stony. But this is rich, even fat, not hard or austere.

17Jancis Robinson

Light, limey nose. Then a great fan of ripe delightful fruit. Pointed quality, very precise. Well done!
