Wonderfully pure nose hints at pungent crushed stone, white pepper and lime. Rich, ripe, dense and fine-grained, with highly complex flavors of pear, Granny Smith apple, underripe pineapple and wet stone. The minerality and piquant fruit character cut the richness of the wine. This is superb. 92-94 points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 07
A fascinating nose of stone dust and white flower aromas combine with superbly well detailed and intensely mineral suffused flavors that are dry, penetrating and wonderfully long on the explosive and palate staining finish. The clear class of this group, even if only by a little. 90-93 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 28 (Oct. 2007) |
