Robert Parker
Composed of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon and exhibiting crisp crushed rock, fig, melon and honeysuckle notes, this beautiful but backward white is capable of lasting another 2-3 decades. 90-92+ points
Ian d`Agata
Bright straw-green. Highly perfumed nose offers lemon verbena, white stone fruits and minerals. Enters the mouth full and rich, with very ripe citrus and white stone fruit flavors. Then long and mineral-driven on the back, finishing with a distinctly tannic bite. An excellent wine with impeccable balance and uncommon depth. 91-93 points
