RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

Its plush, sweet white fruit-packed core is dusted with spices whose flavors are seamlessly extended into its prolonged finish.

93Wine Spectator

Pure and bright, this evokes peach, tangerine and vanilla aromas and flavors on an elegant frame. Good underlying acidity and a lingering aftertaste of citrus.

18Jancis Robinson

Hidden intense nose. Introvert.
