Wine Critic Reviews

Vinum Wine Magazine (97): Sounds of exquisite raspberries and cherries, also berry notes and hot stone; the approach is acid-accentuated, then a lot of polish, ending in a fruit-focused finale on notes of fresh currants. One of the timelessly elegant examples of this diverse MGA.

Winemag (93): Spice and fruit are very elegant on the nose. On the palate it is tighter, fresh and tense, with fine tannins and an extension on blood orange and ferrous notes. A wine at the beginning of a long journey.
