CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "Airy and complex aromas are comprised by notes of citrus confit, mineral reduction, white flowers and a vaguely exotic nuance in the form of passion fruit. Once again there is very good volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the sappy and seductive finish that flashes even better persistence. This balanced effort should amply repay up to a decade of cellaring. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding* "
