Light yellow-gold. Ripe pear and melon on the fragrant, floral-accented nose. Fleshy and smooth on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, offering energetic orchard fruit flavors and a hint of lemon zest. Closes on a spicy note, with dusty minerals adding grip and cut. Shows a suave blend of richness and vivacity, which will make this wine very flexible at the table.

93pts James Suckling– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
Super fine with fragrant pear, jasmine and lemon-curd aromas. A super juicy and fleshy palate, where the acidity is right on. Bright, crisp and even finish. Drink now.

92pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
Pale yellow-gold. Bright and energetic on the nose, displaying mineral-inflected tangerine and pear scents and a subtle touch of honey. Taut and nervy on entry and then more fleshy in the mid-palate, offering bitter orange zest and quinine flavors and a deeper suggestion of pear nectar. Delivers a solid punch but comes off lithe, with firm closing bite, repeating minerality and a hint of bitterness.
