Score 88/100 · Robert Parker, Feb 2001

This wine reveals an excellent nose of fino sherry, roasted nuts, and white fruits macerated in liquor, as well as a rich, excellent, medium to full-bodied personality. The 1996 has lots of acidity, giving it vibrancy and lift. Importer: Fred Ek, Ex Cellars Wine Agencies, Solvang, CA; tel. (805) 686-9153

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Apricot skin, honey, flowers, lemon verbena and a hint of menthol on the expressive nose. Offers a silky texture yet also noteworthy nervosite, thanks to the elevated acidity that characterizes this vintage. Quite firmly structured, even powerful, with excellent length and a late note of nut skin.
