Critics Ratings
'A sight to behold, this pink flower-wrapped bottle has plenty to love inside as well as out. It has a lightly toasty edge across fresh pastry and apricots, with some redder fruit notes, too. The palate starts out with bright red cherry fruits and winds to a more savory and toasty conclusion.' - James Suckling, 92/100 (Sep 2019)
'This pale-colored wine with its crushed raspberry perfume, is now reaching its peak. It is rich with a dosage that gives it a soft character without losing any of the crisp fruit. The wine is balanced, hinting at toast while still tangy and tight.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Dec 2017)
'Rich and smoky on the aromatic nose, with a more subtle presentation of toasted brioche, crushed white cherry, mandarin orange peel and crystallized honey notes on the palate's lightly chalky mousse. Well-knit and fresh.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Nov 2016)
