James Suckling: 93/100 “Scented nose with green apples, lemon zest, yellow flowers and plenty of herbs. It’s textural and well-driven with a medium body and fine structure. There is harmony here with weight and precision. Focused finish with good length. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”
