98 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010
($190; for 375 ml.; 9.7% alcohol, 224 g/l r.s. and 10.7 acidity) Medium gold. Utterly captivating nose melds bitter orange peel, apricot, wildflower honey and minerals. Thick, tactile and extremely young, with powerful acidity giving it a slightly disjointed character initially. For all its huge density, there's great cut to the flavors of apricot, honey and flowers, with the wine's powerful sweetness leavened by a savory element. Finishes with palate-staining fruit, outstanding energy and uncanny persistence. This came together brilliantly with aeration, maintaining great refinement and a sensation of weightlessness. Will go on for decades.
