RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...leads with candied bananas, pineapple husk, white peach and a hint of lychee, and the edges of the aromatics are feathered with preserved citrus, brine, curry leaf and apple skins.

95Vinous / IWC

...offers tension, power and an unrelenting sense of moving forward as if your palate has been put on a travelator.

94Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of nuts, gunsmoke and toast frame concentrated stone and tropical fruit.

17+ Jancis Robinson

The richest of the line-up. But still very transparent and lively. Chewy finish.
