A tropical overtone of candied pineapple on the nose of this wine promises opulence and richness, while a tinge of bergamot intensifies the exotic impression. The concentrated palate brims with pineapple and canned peach but remains pristine, dry and even racy despite all this richness that reflects the heat of the 2018 summer. This wine is rich, dry and fresh in equal measure. Drink now–2035
Rated 95/100 The Wine Enthusiast
A gently flinty nose with a spicy edge, as well as fine, floral perfume and bright limes and apples. The palate has a fine, sleek and even-paced feel with a light, crisp finish. Drink now.
Rated 92/100 James Suckling
