Expert Reviews

Tasting Panel 93 Points | We've long been fans of this 100% barrel-fermented wine aged in sur lie for nine months in French and Hungarian oak, but this vintage displays a surge of aromatics and flavors that is truly impressive. Ripe pear and lemon blossom perfume the air as the luxe mouthfeel of honeyed melon caresses the tongue. Intermingling notes of wet stone, charred caramel and yellow apple connect to an arch of bright acidity. The finish is juicy, with a twist of tangerine. Anthony Dias Blue

James Suckling 90 Points | This is creamy offering notes of glazed peaches, dried mangoes and caramel. Full-bodied, dense and viscous yet with vivid acidity coming through. Ripe and tropical in the finish.
