RATINGS

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Pure, fine, perfumed aromas of white peach and flowers. Juicy, complex and tight, with lovely mineral lift to the flavors of white peach and flowers.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Smoky and pretty reductive but dense with fine oak and bright citrus fruit well in balance. Lots more to come. Serious stuff.
