Wine Spectator Review
Rated 93
Supple and smooth, with good purity to the core of apricot and peach flavors. Shows a dollop of marmalade and lemon meringue, plus hints of marzipan and candied orange peel. Complex and seamless on the long, expressive finish, with a vibrant thread of acidity. Drink now.
