RATINGS

91-93Vinous / IWC

...a dense, powerful wine. Time in the glass brings out a good deal of Preuses mineral and floral character...plenty of depth and nuance...

90-93Burghound.com

...exotic character is a bit more obvious on the green fruit, lychee, pineapple, melon, white flower and iodine-scented aromas. The exceptionally rich full-bodied flavors also possess fine density...powerful and very dry finale...
