RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

...pretty and captivating... White flowers, lemon confit, mint, crushed rocks and chamomile open up effortlessly. A wine of understatement and total class... Crushed rocks, mint, orchard fruit and white pepper lead into the nuanced, inviting finish. I very much like the energy here.

93-95The Wine Advocate

Notes of lemon oil, crisp peach and iodine mingling with smoky, leesy nuances introduce a full-bodied, deep and promising wine...

91-94Burghound.com

Elegant, cool and pure aromas consist of honeysuckle, white orchard fruit, mineral reduction and iodine wisps...excellent volume and richness to the intensely stony and muscular flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the firm, powerful and driving finish that is quite dry as well as ultra-saline. Lovely...
