Critic Reviews

JAMES SUCKLING – 93 Points

Loads of dried limes, cooked apples and dried lavender. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. The dried fruits are intense and lively on the finish. Driven white with lots of precise character and energy. Drink now.

WINE SPECTATOR – James Molesworth (2017) : 92
« Racy and well-defined, with mouthwatering thyme, verbena and chamomile notes leading the way, backed by lively lemon zest, white peach and star fruit flavors. Offers a salted butter finish. Drink now through 2022. »
