Critics Ratings

‘Forward, with modest apple, pear and brioche notes leading to a slightly coarse edge on the finish. This doesn't seem to have developed any extra complexity with the additional aging. Drink now.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Apr 2012)

‘A distinct note of honeycomb marries harmoniously with the pear and hard nectarine aromas. A nice creaminess fills the mouth, with green apple and citrus flavors, which finish on an appropriately toasty yet mouthwatering note. This already shows nice development; drink now.' – Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2012)
