Score 95+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jun 2014
(11% alcohol; 203 g/l r.s., 8.0 g/l acidity; aged for 24 months in Hungarian oak): Light orange. Racy if subdued aromas of tangerine, orange marmalade, ginger, flowers, spices and medicinal herbs. Almost painfully penetrating initially, showing terrific acid lift and energy to the superconcentrated flavors of apricot nectar and sultana raisin complicated by honey and toffee nuances. Tastes like more than 8 grams of acidity. Boasts outstanding honeyed density but a light touch and outstanding lift on the suave, gripping, palate-staining finish. Great cut. This knockout will go on a lot longer than I will, and I'd certainly wait at least several more years for the wine to absorb a bit more of its acidity.
