"Reserved aromas of yellow pear, sun-kissed golden apple and forest floor gather around the nose that is dusted with honeysuckle and orange blossom. The palate juxtaposes white nectarine against a backdrop of ripe orchard fruit that is lifted by chalk-dusted acidity." ~93 Wine Enthusiast
"Lemons, peach pits, white flowers and nutmeg on the nose of this stony, minerally white. It’s medium-bodied and compact. Drink now." ~92 James Suckling
"A radiant white, with a pretty, inviting, fresh profile of quince, apple and spice notes set against oyster shell and green herbs, plus hints of paraffin and green almond. Firmly structured through the long finish, this is chiseled, with mineral precision and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, long and delicious. Drink now through 2030. 850 cases imported." ~92 Wine Spectator
