"There is the slightest hint of oak in the aroma mingled with citrus. There are flavours of lemon and stone fruits. The finish is long, showing what the winery calls “crunchy” fruit on an age-worthy texture."
95 points, John Schreiner

"On the palate, pears and apricots mix with citrus and minerals, complemented by fresh acidity that tightens the wine from within. The finish is long and persistent with early morning bakery notes."
93 points, Anthony Gismondi
