Description
"Golden yellow, bright and intense. Rich and broad bouquet. Notes of exotic fruit, yellow peach and dried apricot, lightly toasted peanuts and almonds, sweet spices such as saffron, cinnamon, powdered ginger, white pepper, honey and a light balsamic note. Full, round, warm and velvety sip, with a perfect balance of sensations and a long and persistent finish." - Producer Notes
"Opening with aromas of ripe golden apples, fragrant jasmine, toasted almonds, and delicate acacia honey with a profound minerality that emerges as the wine opens. The textured, layered palate is a work of art, with apricots, baked pear, and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg leading to a stunning mineral finish." - 98 Points, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast
"The only oak-inflected cuvee at the estate. Aged in 100% used tonneaux, both French and Slavonian. Superb aromas of pistachios, peaches and dried mangoes. Broad and expansive, yet funneled into a vortex of tension by freshness that sublimates any sense of obvious power. A wonderful expression of a warmer vintage that suits perfectly this compelling site." - 96 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, JameSuckling.com
