Score 94/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jun 2018
Ripe aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit, petrol and citrus hints are framed by the discreet oak treatment. There is excellent volume and concentration to the muscular and solidly powerful medium weight plus flavors where a lemon rind-inflected finish helps to add vibrancy to the youthfully austere finish. This beauty is quite firmly structured and in contrast to most of the preceding wines, this will need at least a few years of cellaring.
