Media Reviews

Allen Meadows

Sulfur notes do not completely suppress the expressiveness of the mildly exotic dried yellow fruit and oyster shell nose that marries into delicious and succulent medium plus weight flavors that possess ample amounts of dry extract while delivering good power and punch on the saline and bitter lemon-inflected finish. I like the textured mouth feel and while this too should drink well young there is enough underlying material to make this worth aging. 89-92 points

Stephen Tanzer

Bright yellow-green. Mint, lime and a whiff of chlorophyll on the nose. Sweet but a bit clenched, even youthfully aggressive, in the middle, with the lemon, mint and menthol flavors complicated by a positive vegetal quality. Finishes quite dry, with a note of anise. 88-90 points

Julia Harding

Not very expressive at the moment. Creamy, almost a touch sour. Power and length but without evident fruit flavours. Very tight and embryonic. 17+ points
