Reviews and Ratings

Marco Giovanetti rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

In the nose aromas of halzenut crisp with vanilla extract. In addition, capuccino iced cofee with green apple syrup and ripe pears. Moreover, white licorice and stone ripe fruits. In the mouth, full body with a creamy, airy profile. Excellent acidity with flavors that remind me of flowers ( lilacs and white roses) with ripe fruits. Tight know but with a beautiful lenght and balance. Beautiful long white peach aftertaste. Give it a few years and it will come all together.
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Deep straw yellow color with aromas of grilled hazelnut, spice and pear.

This wine is zippy, elegant and very long.

Serve it at 10-12 degrees.

Pair it with a trout burger with lemon mayonnaise and capers or with goat cheese!

Can be aged up to 8 years

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
