Product Description
99 points in James Suckling - "The perfumed perfection of the bouquet and the wonders of the palate, with its ever-shifting mosaic of white stone fruit, rock melon, grapefruit, Granny Smith apple and custard apple reign supreme. Oak? Yes, it's there, although subtle. Acidity? Yes, the giver of life now and into the future."
97 points in Wine Spectator - "This impressive white is complex, supple, and elegant, though not shy on intensity. Opens with creamy, satiny notes of apricot, pear, lemon curd, and passion fruit puree, with touches of toasted hazelnut, salted caramel, jasmine, and green tea. The way the details mingle with and complete one another makes this as complex as it is refreshing, with a fresh thread of acidity weaving in and out. "
