| Description: | 97 JS / 94 We / 17 Jr. Wow. This has such attractively pure fruit with flinty nuances, across ripe peaches, nectarines and grapefruit. The off-dry palate has a flinty and gently smoky edge with a very fresh, concentrated core of ripe white peaches. So powerful and long. Drink or hold. James Suckling. In this wine, a flash of freshly cut Williams pear shows befor the nose closes down again. The palate reveals gentle, rounded fruit and the kind of concentration that turns into elegance rather than power. With plenty of energy at the core, sun-ripened and upright, the wine remains finely chiseled. A freshness uncommon for 2018 pervades the pear notes and lets this shine. Drink by 2040. Anne Krebiehl MW, Wine Enthusiast. Quite rich but masses of smoky pungency, so it's not fat. A little light bitterness to compensate for the relatively low acid. Impressively racy for the vintage! Very long and exciting. Recommended for mushrooms. - Jancis Robinson. |
