RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...brilliant, offering up a complex bouquet of mandarin, ripe pears and peaches mingled with almond paste, fresh pastry and nutmeg. Full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's multidimensional and complete, with a layered core, considerable concentration and a long, chalky finish.

95Vinous / IWC

...intriguing, complex bouquet of orange zest, honeysuckle and powdered granite aromas... The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through intense citrus fruit laced with walnut and hazelnut...great depth on the finish... Wonderful salinity on the aftertaste. Outstanding.
