RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Lean and on the sharp side, offering lemon, flint and spice flavors...persists, with lemon and spice notes on the long finish.

91-93The Wine Advocate

Aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, honeycomb, spices and white flowers...medium to full-bodied wine with tangy acids and a chalky, tensile profile, concluding with a long, saline finish.

91-93Stephen Tanzer

...aromas of white stone fruits, fresh herbs, spring flowers and white pepper... Offers lovely balance and mineral energy, finishing with noteworthy rising length and brisk acidity.

18Jancis Robinson

Rich ripe lemon on the nose. Spicy and almost touch of nutmeg. Deep and eye-wateringly intense. Wonderful mealy cedary power in the mouth, utterly pure. Incredibly long.
