Score 90-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Aug 2015
(from purchased grapes from 60-year-old vines): Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of orange zest, pink grapefruit, white pepper and lichee are a bit more exotic than those of the village wine in a good way. Fat, savory and sweet in the mouth, with a creamy old-vines intensity to the flavors of crystallized lime and stone fruits. Finishes smooth and long, with bracing acidity giving this fruit bomb a lipsmacking sappiness on the back.
