Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed December 2017Aromatically, this wine is still shy on nose and palate. Underneath that the linearity and inherent slenderness of ripe tangerine flesh and zest come though, enriched with an earthy notion of ripe pear. The palate is dry and energetic, but also still rather closed. The true colors are revealed on the finish, with a lasting pear note bundled on the concentrated, linear palate. Drink 2019-2030. (AK)

James Suckling
A little forward already with sliced pear, flint and apple character. Hints of almond. Medium body, fresh acidity and a flavorful finish.
