Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010

($48; 40 g/l r.s., with 6.8 acidity) Pale-medium yellow. Complex aromas of pineapple, quinine, marzipan and ginger, with a floral element emerging as the wine opens in the glass. Fairly sweet but with very good integrated acidity and underlying minerality giving precision to the stone fruit and spice flavors. Finishes suave and persistent, firm but not phenolic. A serious wine with spine.
