Expert Reviews

94 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2008

Very elegant and yellow-peachy in the mouth, with a veritable peacock's tail of finishing fruit harmoniously supported by vibrant acidity. Rich extract lends texture and finesse. Already quite attractive but has the potential for further development in bottle. This paired wonderfully with sole in a crayfish and Pernod sauce with fennel and red beetroot. Drink now to 2022.
